Event Overview Six Sigma at many companies simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process - from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.   A Six Sigma Green Belt is defined as an employee who is trained on Six Sigma methodology with a subset of tools and fills a Six Sigma role on a part-time basis. In addition to their normal duties, Green Belts spend a portion of their time assisting Black Belts with complex improvement projects or independently leading their own projects. The goals of a Six Sigma Green Belt include reducing defects using data driven, methodical, team driven approach to problem solving; reducing costs attributed to waste and defects; improving customer satisfaction and achieving breakthrough improvement.
