Green belts are employees (the six-sigma soldiers) who spend part of their time (possibly 10% to 50%) on their allocated projects. Some organisations may set themselves a target of achieving at any one time 1% to 10% of their employees being Green belt trained and actively involved working on a six-sigma project. Their training would include a clear understanding of the DMAIC approach, theory and application, basic tools and techniques including problem solving.
As a consequence of this Green belt course the delegate would be expected to have a practical knowledge of the most common tools and techniques used in their Six Sigma project. They should also be capable of running meaningful, worthwhile projects, and confidently and effectively applying the tools and techniques, to good effect, within the six-sigma team.
