Terminology
Green Belts (GB)- trained in Six Sigma who
spend a portion of their time completing
projects, but maintain their regular work role
and responsibilities. Depending on their
workload, they can spend anywhere from 10%
to 50% of their time on their project(s).
Black Belts (BB) -the experts in Six Sigma
methodologies and its usage. Black Belts are
the heart and soul of the Six Sigma quality
initiative. Their main purpose is to lead quality
projects and work full time until they are
complete. Black Belts can typically complete
four to six projects per year with savings of
approximately $230,000 per year.
