Is Six Sigma Black Belt actually a thing

I work for a company with hundreds of thousands of employees and they all have fairly innocuous job titles as far as I can tell but yesterday I looked up some guy in the company directory online and his title was "Six Sigma Black Belt." It looks like a title someone would give themselves if they hacked into the directory. CSB & yeah I could Google it but I thought it was kind of funny.

Dated a chick who got this and never understood it. Look at this vague corporate jibber jabber:

The Certified Six Sigma Black Belt is a professional who can explain Six Sigma philosophies and principles, including supporting systems and tools. A Black Belt should demonstrate team leadership, understand team dynamics and assign team member roles and responsibilities. Black Belts have a thorough understanding of all aspects of the DMAIC model in accordance with Six Sigma principles. They have basic knowledge of Lean enterprise concepts, are able to identify non-value-added elements and activities and are able to use specific tools.

It's real but it is not a title. If properly achieved it is an impressive certification. If you are in a logistics role it is advisable to be green belt at a minimum.

Yes. Several of my coworkers are going through training soon for that. Not sure what level they are planning on achieving but it is a real thing.

You sound like a dumb kid making fun of the kids in advanced math class.

Yes. Covers many functions along the supply chain. If you prefer SC then go for it.

Six sigma is a joke.
Posted on 1/5/14 at 8:33 pm to arseinclarse
The online certifications certainly are.

I don't think a company being, or striving be six sigma is a joke.
Posted on 1/5/14 at 8:34 pm to TommyCheeseballs
Yes. I have a LSS Green Belt and am training for my black belt. it is basically training in process and cost improvement.

It's what happens when large and bureaucratic organizations want to implement things that come naturally to intelligent individuals. Naturally it becomes convoluted as shite.

No, I can only dream that I did.
I was talking to the guy on the phone because he's also a customer of the company and he was using company jargon, which was how I knew he was an employee. I looked him up after I got off the phone.
