Belts – A Guide by 
MindCypress
Introduction:
Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology 
aimed at improving the quality of processes 
by reducing defects and minimizing 
variability. Originating from the 
manufacturing industry, it has expanded into 
various sectors, including healthcare, 
finance, and IT, to optimize performance and 
ensure consistent results. 
MindCypress offers comprehensive training 
programs to help individuals and 
organizations master Six Sigma techniques 
and implement them effectively.
Understanding Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a statistical approach for the improvement of 
process quality, and its defect reduction aim is to be at or 
below 3.4 defects per million opportunities in achieving 
near-perfect quality. It employs the use of the DMAIC 
methodology- Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, 
Control-which ensures a structured and scientific method 
for process identification:
1. Define: Identify the problem, project goals, and 
customer requirements
2. Measure: Collect data to establish current process 
performance and set benchmarks.
3. Analyze: Identify the root cause of defects and 
process inefficiencies.
4. Improve: Develop solutions and implement process 
changes to eliminate defects.
5. Control: Monitor the new process to ensure 
continued improvements.
How to Get Certified: Six Sigma
Mastering the methodology would require Six Sigma certification. 
MindCypress has different training programs for all levels and meets 
the diversified career goals of its clients. Six Sigma certifications, like 
martial arts, have "belts" which are divided into increasing levels of 
expertise.
1. White Belt: Introduction to Six Sigma fundamentals, suitable for 
newcomers who want to learn the basics.
2. Yellow Belt: Involves supporting project teams, focusing on data 
collection, and understanding process improvements.
3. Green Belt: More advanced level, involving leading projects and 
analyzing data. Six Sigma Green Belt training by MindCypress 
equips individuals with practical skills for problem-solving and 
project management.
4. Black Belt: Focuses on leading project teams, conducting in-
depth statistical analysis, and driving change within an

5. Master Black Belt: Represents the highest level of expertise, 
involving mentoring Black Belts and advising on strategy.
The Council for Six Sigma Certification is the most credible accrediting organization 
which certifies many training organizations against its standards of certification to 
assure industry conformation. Therefore, the design of the Six Sigma program by 
MindCypress ensured that they followed the certification standards of CSSC. This 
ensures that it remains a best recognized and respected form of certification possible.
