eLean Six Sigma Yellow Belt

Overview 

Expert problem-solvers and project leaders are necessary to change the performance trajectory of an organization. But it’s also necessary to have the right people in the right support roles—paving the way for effective project work and sustaining performance gains after they’ve been made.

Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training provides an often-missing element of change program success: the need to sew performance gains into the fabric of everyday operational management and process control. Lean Six Sigma yellow belts (or call them what you want) can do this as critical lynchpins between change agents (like black belts) and process workers.

This course prepares process owners and others to function in this way by exposing them to Lean Six Sigma concepts, constructs and vernacular. It also gives them skills for mapping processes and collecting data, important groundwork that black belts and Lean leaders need to be effective.
