Six sigma black belt
Executive leadership and Champions Those assuming the role of executive leadership are typically the top level executives, but they could also be those individuals who are primarily responsible for seeing the implementation of six sigma through from start to finish.Executive leaders are responsible for selecting the six sigma implementation team as well as leading that team and acting as the moderator for new ideas.Champions are responsible for the actual implementation of six sigma in the organization.The Champion must act as a mentor and facilitator.Champions are responsible for bringing the most pressing issues of the organization to light and also to generate ideas for projects that will lead to the improvement of these concerns.Champions also act as mentors to Black Belts, the next roles that are assumed in the six sigma implementation process. Master Black Belts Master Black Belts have the responsibility of coaching others within the six sigma implementation group.The Master Black Belts are responsible for delivering the results of the projects that are being conducted.The Master Black Belt tends to deal more with individuals who may not be as familiar with six sigma implementation roles and therefore he must have strong leadership skills and be well liked or well respected.Master Black Belts are entrusted with the responsibility to not only maintain the momentum of a six sigma implementation, but also to keep costs down and maintain the focus of the group's efforts on the customer throughout the entire implementation process.As was mentioned briefly before, a Master Black Belt position is typically a temporary position that is needed from time to time as new projects present themselves. Black Belts Black Belts are typically members of middle management.The primary role of a six sigma black belt is to execute the six sigma plan of action on the actual plant floor.Black Belts are typically more technically oriented than other roles within the implementation process.Their job is to create, facilitate, train, and lead teams, with an analytical approach.A Black Belt will typically have about 4-5 weeks of professional full-time training in statistical methods and tools before assuming his role in the implementation process.The role of a Black Belt differs from the roles of Master Black Belts and Champions because they are more involved with the projects and functions of six sigma.
