The Green Belt Program provides participants with an overview of Six Sigma and the key concepts associated with creating effective project teams. Green Belts receive a subset of the more comprehensive Black Belt programme.
Program Overview (duration – Five days)
Green Belts candidates are trained in the Six Sigma methodology and assist in cascading Six Sigma approaches and techniques throughout the organisation. They are employees at all levels who serve as high-performing team members on Black Belt project teams or as leaders on projects that do not require a Black Belt level of analytical rigour.
Tools and Techniques:
- A structured problem-solving methodology for addressing organisational improvement projects
- Intermediate-level quality tools within that methodology
- How to generate bottom-line financial and operational results.
The program focuses on the DMAIC model for process improvement and the relevant intermediate-level statistical and graphical tools within that model.
The DMAIC model is asystematic method for analysing and improving business processes.
It consists of five phases:

Green Belt Course Outline:
A Green Belt typically functions within their natural work areas or departments to resolve issues affecting various functions within their business unit.
An effective Green Belt should have a clear understanding of the concepts of Six Sigma and be able to effectively apply those concepts in order to get a business result for the organization. A well versed Green Belt should be comfortable with all of the tools within the curriculum listed here as well as the overall problem-solving methodology. It is typically not a necessity for Green Belts to have an understanding of some of the more advanced tools within the Improve Phase of the methodology.
