Green Belt Six Sigma

• Six Sigma Green Belt training helps a person learn and develop several skills crucial to organizational work and development. Some of these include DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) and problem solving. The training is tailored according to the person's area of expertise and responsibility in the organization. The focused practice in Green Belt training allows it to train individuals on a smaller scale and within strictly defined Six Sigma projects. In Green Belt, commitment is required a degree lesser than in Black Belt Six Sigma practice.
  
  

Two Primary Tasks
