Six Sigma demonstrably improves the quality of process outputs by identifying and eliminating the causes of defects (errors) in production and business processes using a quality management methodology.
Black Belt managers are experts in project and process management. Each Six Sigma project has a methodological sequence of steps and quantified financial goals.
