Lean Six Sigma Belt is a term that refers to the level of proficiency and certification in the Lean Six Sigma methodology, which is a combination of Lean and Six Sigma principles and tools. Lean Six Sigma aims to improve quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction by eliminating waste and reducing variation in processes. There are five main levels of Lean Six Sigma Belt: White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Master Black Belt. Each level has different roles, responsibilities, and skills in leading and executing Lean Six Sigma projects. Here is a brief overview of each belt level:
– White Belt: This is the basic level of Lean Six Sigma awareness. White Belts can work on local problem-solving teams that support overall projects, but may not be part of a Six Sigma project team. They understand the basic concepts and benefits of Lean Six Sigma.
– Yellow Belt: This is the introductory level of Lean Six Sigma project participation. Yellow Belts can participate as project team members and assist with data collection and analysis. They also review process improvements that support the project. They have a deeper understanding of the Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques than White Belts.
