their implementation across the organisation- Business
process management system

HR executives have a vital role to play in hiring of the black
belts and then in their retention in the organisation. So they
need to know the subject themselves, to understand the needs

Statistical Process Control:

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a process improvement
methodology to monitor, control, and continuously optimize a
process. SPC is really a subset of six sigma. SPC is usually
associated with control charts and design of experiments. SPC
separates common-cause from assignable-cause variation. The
team identifies and removes assignable-cause variation and
reduces common-cause variation around three targets – –
nominal-is-best, larger-is-better, or smaller-is-better
characteristics.
