The Six Sigma Master Black Belt training course itself is 5 days, but additional time is needed to complete a major Lean Six Sigma project. Master Black Belt projects typically take between 6 months and 12 months to complete. The project must use the DMAIC methodology, make use of several DMAIC technical tools, and result in auditable and validated net hard savings to the bottom line.

Here are the requirements: when choosing a project within your organization:

  • All projects must align with the overall business plan and usually require approval by an internal champion or business leader. In most cases, these also need to have a strategy to save dollars or make dollars for the organization over and above the existing process plan. The specifics need to be reviewed prior to submission and embarkment.
  • The chosen technologies and statistical tools used in the project need to be explained and should be familiar to experts.
  • A positive mindset that can work well and communicate easily is advantageous because it generates positive financial outcomes for the business.
  • Some companies require full time employment or commitment, while other times these projects can be done on a part-time basis. This varies greatly per industry.
  • A strong desire to raise the bar on quality is also necessary.
  • For the project, experts with creative problem-solving skills and familiarity with customer needs and requirements are needed. In addition to leadership and other collaborative skills, the professional should have practical communication skills.
