Six Sigma BLACK BELT

A Six Sigma Black Belt will be an expert on the subject matters of Lean Manufacturing and statistical analysis. Their goals are to shift the performance to a desired target and/or reduce the variation of a process.

They usually work as full-time Black Belts and mentor Green Belts. Black Belts often provide training to newer Black Belts and Green Belts.

Some companies will keep their Black Belts as full-time, others will have a repatriation process where top performers become certified and a few years later are placed back into a non Six Sigma role in the company.

The objective is that the training will carry over into the work behavior and habits of each repatriate and the company will develop a foundation that operates within these principles.

These certifications programs are more rigorous than the Green Belt program but less than Master Black Belt programs. Projects tend to be of higher value and complexity than a Green Belt project.



Typical Certification requirements:

  • 160-360 hours of coursework
  • Proof of at least one project completion - fluency of core tools
  • Evidence using project management tools
  • Evidence showing basic application of statistics
  • Evidence of understanding the Lean principles
  • Mentoring of other Black Belts, Green Belts or Yellow Belts
  • Written examination
