Green Belt Six Sigma at a small company

Six Sigma has been adopted primarily by large companies that can afford the expense, time, and extensive reliance on the use of trained Black Belts. However, with some experimentation and modification, Six Sigma is also suitable for smaller companies. This paper presents a case study of how a small company has implemented an effective quality improvement program with widespread training at a lesser Green Belt level, an approach that may have big payoffs for small to mid-size companies.
