Six Sigma

Green Belts (GB)

Green belts are new team members that achieve certification after completing training in a Six Sigma course. To complete green belt training, new members must complete a relevant project that utilizes the DMAIC model outlined below. To maintain green belt certification, green belts generally complete DMAIC projects once every twelve months. Green belts are also responsible for:

• Recommending Six Sigma projects
• Participating on Six Sigma project teams
• Leading Six Sigma teams in local improvement projects

Green Belt Projects

Green belts complete six sigma projects while still holding their current job duties. Therefore, a six sigma project undertaken by a green belt could include:

• Statistical analysis to improve reliability on a reactor within the green belt's current responsibility
• Root cause analysis and elimination of quality control problems that chronically affect the green belt's department
