The Six Sigma methodology creates many possibilities for radically
improving process and product quality resulting in enhanced financial
performances, customer satisfaction and bottom-line results. While Six Sigma
was initially applied within large organizations, the interest of small and
medium-sized enterprises in using this continuous improvement initiative is
increasing. Due to the fact that a wide variety of small and medium-sized
enterprises act as suppliers to larger enterprises and therefore taking over a
substantial part in global supply chains, small and medium-sized enterprises are
demanded to have robust quality processes in place as well as offer products and
services of the highest quality.
One of the most important critical success factors for the implementation of
Six Sigma is the strong organizational infrastructure of process improvement
specialists, also known as “Belt Hierarchy” or “Belt System” which originally
consists of four core types of Six Sigma professionals: Master Black Belt, Black
Belt, Green Belt and Yellow Belt. Since the traditional Six Sigma belt approach
is not applicable in small and medium-sized enterprises due to a lack of human
and financial resources as well as other organizational differences to larger
enterprises, amendments are required when it is applied in small and mediumsized enterprises.
