ABOUT THE COURSE


Lean Six Sigma is a process-improvement methodology that accelerates processes, increases efficiency and reduces or eliminates variation. Competition for customers is increasing throughout the corporate world, putting company profits at risk. Furthermore, customer expectations are changing rapidly as the rate of information increases; and the operating costs within companies are escalating. Now, more than ever, achieving process excellence is essential.

The Yellow Belt training serves to emphasize why the implementation of Lean Six Sigma is vital to the continuous improvement of a wide variety of industries. The course is designed for people who are new to Lean and Six Sigma and it teaches the foundational Lean Six Sigma concepts.

Several applications of Lean Six Sigma concepts will be presented throughout the course to illustrate the value of incorporating these practices into any business. 

TOPICS COVERED

  • Continuous process improvement (CPI) with emphasis on both Lean Six Sigma concepts and methodologies.
