Introduction
The Certified Six Sigma Black Belt is a specialist who can describe the theories and principles of Six Sigma as well as the supporting framework and equipment. A Black Belt should show team leadership, comprehend team dynamics, and delegate tasks to team members.
According to Six Sigma principles, black belts have a full grasp of every component of the define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) model. They are able to use certain technologies, recognize non-value-added components and operations, and have a basic understanding of lean enterprise ideas.
