FREE online courses on What is Six Sigma - Six Sigma Structure - Leadership and Commitment Responsibility

 

The CEO adopts Six Sigma publicly through a company wide training effort and assigns someone from top management to be the 'Executive Champion'.

 

The Executive Champion assigns Deployment Champions and Master Black Belts (also called Project Champions) from the next highest levels of management. The Master Black Belts oversee Six Sigma Projects. Master Black Belts are usually consultants for new initiatives. They pick the projects and people, and teach, coach, and monitor them. Improvement projects usually last between four and six months. The Master Black Belts assign the Black Belts and Green Belts to help lead and contribute to the projects.
