Green belt, also known as GB, is the leader of the project team slightly smaller than the scope of the black belt project. Some green belts are also the main members of the black belt project team, helping the black belt lead the project. The green belt should be trained in six sigma techniques, but the training content is not as deep and wide as the black belt. The function of green belt is to bring the new concepts and tools of Six Sigma into the daily activities of enterprises. In the management of Six Sigma, there are more people in the green belt than in the black belt. He is not only the most basic force in the project team, but also the leader and pioneer of the project. The Green Belt should not only lead its core members to complete the stage objectives and specific tasks of the project, but also always learn from the past and give guidance to the core members when they encounter difficulties, so as to achieve the goals. Therefore, the importance of green belt in the project is self-evident, and it is the key factor for the success of the project.
Let's look at an example of a green belt and feel how important it is! What are the benefits of Six Sigma Green Belt Training?
In less than 30 years, a manufacturing company named SG has grown from only two people responsible for manufacturing parts to a large company with 500 full-time employees and an annual turnover of 300 million US dollars. They have a good reputation in this industry, but recently, quality problems and delivery delays have caused some unhappiness between SG and several biggest contract customers. Sid, the boss of the company, just found a consulting company with the idea of giving it a try and sought improvement. According to the requirements of consultants, Xide has gathered the backbones of major production lines and received training from consulting companies. The consulting company hopes to learn more about the operation of the production line from the training. Some backbones are afraid of being criticized by leaders, so no one will talk about it. Michelle, who is straightforward, doesn't care, because she thinks the new method can change the situation of the production line. Under the guidance of the consultant, Michelle raised questions about the hygiene of the production line, the placement of tools, and which processes would delay production. Sid found that there are many problems in the production line. If these problems are solved, the competitiveness of his company will be greatly improved. So instead of blaming Michelle, I nodded frequently. The others didn't get angry when they saw Xi De. They all started talking about the problems they found. These problems were also selected to improve the project. Michelle has become one of the green belts of the project, and her project advocate is the factory director George. George is an old employee who has worked in the factory for 30 years, and his working years and age also determine that he is a conservative person. He doesn't think this improvement without replacing equipment will be effective. However, George is not a stubborn man, and he also hopes that the factory will get better. So he talked to Sid and the consultant teacher. One is to explain what you mean, and the other is to seek a better solution for the project. After the conversation, George also decided to try this new method. Michelle's project is about process improvement, and more than ten years of work experience has enabled her to enter the role faster. Through training and self-study, she made clear the goal and direction of improvement. Draw a flow chart, find out the bottleneck links, and prioritize the bottlenecks by using the method of Six Sigma ... Step by step, lead your team in the right direction. George saw Michelle's efforts and the phased results of the project, and gradually eliminated doubts. He is more cooperative with Michelle. As long as it is related to the project, correct and necessary, he gave the green light, and the project progressed smoothly. Finally, Michelle's project was not only completed ahead of schedule, but also achieved better results and higher benefits than expected.
This example positively illustrates the important role of green belt in the project. Michelle not only led her team forward, but also changed the views of advocates. Therefore, every project advocate should not only know the direction, methods and goals of efforts, but also the green belt should recognize the importance of the project and have the enthusiasm for active implementation. Michelle is such an excellent green belt. She thinks about the company everywhere, dares to face problems and actively learns various tools and methods to solve problems. It is precisely because of her persistence and firm attitude that the final success of the project was guaranteed, and it also set an example for future projects.
If our group company wants to successfully implement six suitable horses, it can't do without a green belt like Michelle. Just as Chairman Zhao Mingyuan instructed at the company kick-off meeting, all participants should have enthusiasm, passion, hobbies and desire to treat the project and the six horses, so as to have good results. In other words, every participant in the project, especially the green belt, must first have a positive attitude towards the project. Only with the correct working attitude and method can we finish the work better and faster. The group company is also very cautious in the choice of green belt in the first phase of the project. Through discussion and research one by one, the selected green belts are all backbones, elites or training objects in their own departments or professional fields, and the leaders are full of confidence in each green belt and give strong support. We also firmly believe that during the implementation of the first phase project of the Group Company, a large number of meticulous, enthusiastic, motivated and positive green belts like Michelle will emerge to lead the core members of the project to better implement the project, truly practice the six-sigma method and concept, and let the six-sigma management take root and thrive in Northeast Special Steel!
Having said so much about the benefits of Six Sigma Green Belt Training, you still have to meet your professional needs. In fact, six sigma is not seen by many managers, and it has not been used or involved for the time being. Six Sigma is a set of management thinking, and the essence of learning is to use this management thinking mode to solve problems.
