Six Sigma encompasses a disciplined set of techniques aimed at process improvement, originally introduced by engineer Bill Smith at Motorola in 1986. This methodology gained prominence when Jack Welch implemented it as a cornerstone of General Electric's business strategy in 1995. Today, Six Sigma is applied across various industrial sectors to enhance output quality by identifying defect causes and minimizing process variability. It integrates empirical statistical methods within an organizational structure designed to leverage expertise in quality management. Each Six Sigma initiative follows a specified sequence of steps with defined value targets, including reduced cycle times, lower pollution levels, cost reductions, improved customer satisfaction, and increased profitability.

The International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) serves as a professional association devoted to advancing standards within the Lean Six Sigma community. IASSC stands out as the only independent third-party certification body within this field that does not offer training, mentoring, or consulting services. Instead, it focuses solely on facilitating centralized testing standards for Lean Six Sigma certification and program accreditations.

Within the realm of Six Sigma, professionals occupy various levels, each with distinct roles. The project hierarchy includes:

• Black Belt: Leads projects and trains teams.
• Green Belt: Assists Black Belt projects with data collection while leading their own initiatives.
• Master Black Belt: Provides training for Black Belts and Green Belts at a program level while developing strategic metrics and direction.
• Yellow Belt: Acts as a member of project teams reviewing process improvements.
• White Belt: Participates in local problem-solving efforts, with basic awareness of Six Sigma concepts without direct involvement in project teams.
