Introduction
This programme is the same as a "Black Belt" except that the curriculum is tailored for service quality professionals. The "Black Belt" can be defined as "an individual who has developed a synergistic proficiency between his or her technical discipline and the Six Sigma strategies, tactics , and tools." These individuals will continually work towards institutionalising the effective use of these tools throughout the corporation, its customers, and its suppliers.
