Since 2016, Kevin Griffin has been the owner of Griffin Atlas, Inc., in St Louis, Missouri. Prior to this, Kevin Griffin earned a degree in business at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina, and he achieved Six Sigma Green Belt certification.
Six Sigma is a disciplined and statistically driven business management strategy that identifies and eliminates defects to improve a company's performance. The Six Sigma methodology is implemented through two different sub-methodologies known as DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) and DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, verify).
DMAIC is employed when an existing business process needs to be improved incrementally. However, if a process needs more than incremental improvement or a new process or product needs to be developed at the Six Sigma quality level, DMADV can be applied.
These Six Sigma processes are implemented by professionals with Green Belt and Black Belt certifications and are supervised by Six Sigma Master Black Belts. The Green Belt is the first level of Six Sigma certification and is highly respected in the business community.
Becoming a Green Belt requires three years of full-time work experience in the area of a Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge. Because Six Sigma principles can be utilized in various careers, many employers seek professionals with this expertise.
