They actually mean that the level of person in an organization, when he or she performs a particular task on behalf of the company. Every person in an organization works so as to have a company that has no error in their working. Suppose you are looking to deliver a product, a person’s objective should be to take care that the product is delivered without any defects. For a business to be successful customer satisfaction is also necessary.

Different belts are meant for identification in six sigma. There are various colors of belts like yellow, green and black. They are made to denote different responsibilities of the company. With the sigma six approach projects get delivered faster than anticipated and no time is wasted. Wondering how is time saved? Well with this approach you can divide work into areas, or allow different departments to deal with different aspects of the project.

The purpose of the belts is to simplify work for people. So suppose you are looking for a person to make sure that the whole project is checked for its quality, then identifying a person with green belt is the best possible thing that can happen. They would be the best suited person for handling all quality issues. Six sigma has simplified things and so if you are a team leader just check their belt colors and you know who is best suited to fit in the bill.
