What is a Six Sigma White Belt?

The structure of Six Sigma allows members of a team to know their responsibilities and expectations, even before a major project is underway. Using a belt system, much like the system used in martial arts, allows teams to work together efficiently and productively. It can be applied in a variety of industries and business sizes. The white belt is vital to the Six Sigma process for two main reasons: first, competent white belts provide support through collection and understanding of information and proficient insight into how the processes are working. Second, the white belt level is the foundation for business leaders and employees from which they grow in their leadership roles, or move into a new leadership role.

There is NO COST to attend this training, but registration is required.

Ivy Tech's Certified Quality Trainers will teach this eight hour noncredit workshop. The final exam is a 30 minute test and will be administered at the end of the session.
