What are the pros and cons to these two different SS training / certification programs?
1. A hierarchical approach, in which everyone starts at an initial level (something below a Green Belt maybe a White or Yellow Belt nomenclature) and progresses through a stepped training curriculum onto Master Black Belt (assuming that they are successful at each level). And with each level greater responsibility and more challenging improvement projects that instill greater understanding.
2. A direct approach, in which personnel are directly placed into various levels of SS (Yellow, Green, Black, and Master Black) based upon managements impression of an individuals qualification. Projects are required for certification; just fewer are accomplished because personnel were not required to perform subordinate level projects prior to their present level.
I have my opinion on this but I need a little advice (as ammunition) on this one
Thanks for the feedback, EdG
