The MBB is a senior executive usually in director level. Traditionally, the role of a Master Black Belt has evolved from a technical expert of Six Sigma, a tutor of internal BB and GB courses and a coach of BB projects, into a gold miner who unveils concealed gold mine so that the business can be expanded with existing resources.
To enable a Master Black Belt to fulfil this new role, SSI’s MBB programme incorporates the latest development of Six Sigma approach – The TOCLSS. This is an integrated approach of Theory of Constraints, Lean and Six Sigma. The TOCLSS is a unique technique developed by SSI’s strategic partner, SBTI-HK, based on their global consultancy experience. It is proven to be effective to elevate substantial company profit in a short time. This seminar is to introduce the newly important role of MBB.
