After undergoing the training required in Asia I became a 6 Sigma Black Belt in 2002, achieved certification in 2003 and have managed approximately 40 projects mainly with Caterpillar. In 2004 I travelled to the US where I was trained as a 6 Sigma Master Black Belt and one year later I became certified. In early 2008 I trained to become a Lean Black Belt in Asia.
