Description

Yellow Belt attendees contribute to an organization by playing a supportive role in the organization’s larger Six Sigma Process. These individuals will understand the concepts used to collect critical information on processes and support other Yellow Belts in gaining knowledge and experience in problem-solving processes. Everyone’s understanding of the process is an integral part of the improvement methodology.

Becoming a Yellow Belt will equip you with the ability to analyze complex problems utilizing the Lean Six Sigma methodology to help eliminate waste and reduce variation across processes and serve as a basis for the Six Sigma Green Belt program. Businesses are always looking for innovative ways to do things better, faster, and cheaper. The Lean Six Sigma tool set will help you achieve those goals.

The DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) method is the heart of Six Sigma. This course introduces the DMAIC Roadmap and Six Sigma key concepts.
