Six Sigma Belts
Terms used to describe the level of expertise attained by a Six Sigma-trained professional. There are four "belt" levels: 1) Yellow Belt (YB) – the lowest level of Six Sigma expertise; applies to a professional who has a basic working knowledge and who may manage smaller process improvement projects, but who does not function as a project or team leader; 2) Green Belt (GB) – in many organizations, Six Sigma's "entry level"; a Six Sigma-trained (and sometimes certified) professional who does not work on Six Sigma projects exclusively, but whose duties include leading projects and teams and implementing Six Sigma methodology at the project level; 3) Black Belt (BB) – a Six Sigma-trained professional who has usually completed an examination and been certified in its methods; all job duties include implementation of Six Sigma methodology throughout all levels of the business, leading teams and projects, and providing Six Sigma training and mentoring to Green and Yellow Belts; and 4) Master Black Belt (MBB) – the highest level of Six Sigma expertise; all duties involve implementation of Six Sigma, including statistical analysis, strategic and policy planning and implementation, and training and mentoring of Black Belts.
