Six Sigma Black Belt Training

Six Sigma BLACK BELT Training (SSBB)

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

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

Some companies will keep them as permanent Black Belts, 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 with the idea of using the concepts in this new role.

Black Belts should possess a complete understanding of basic statistics and hypothesis testing. 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.

Black Belts are also expected to have ability to run a DOE but these frequently will involve a Master Black Belt due to risk of investment.
