Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification
Welcome to Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training - the second level of certification that builds upon the basic concepts of Lean and Six Sigma. As a globally accredited Yellow Belt, you will be the first line of defense for the organization and will have the skills to understand issues, identify the root cause and implement solutions that improve results and create a better workplace.
Who needs this certification?
Candidates for Yellow Belt certification are the millions of employees on the front lines. Whether the frontline is in a warehouse, a production line, a retail store, a delivery truck, a hospital, a call center or on a farm, these are the people who we rely upon to get the daily work done. Frontline workers are pressured by daily targets and are constantly confronted or interrupted by repetitive issues that delay or minimize the quality and the speed of their work. That's what Yellow Belt Certification is for.
Benefits
Day
after day, the Yellow Belt will identify issues that impede their ability to
meet their performance targets. And as a team, the skilled Yellow Belts will
quickly collaborate to understand the root cause and create a plan to solve it.

The Impact of Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt on Business Efficiency and Front Line
A
Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt - along with their colleagues - has the skills to
quickly recognize, fix and prevent problems and issues. These daily problems
that cause poor quality, slow processes, rework, overtime, excessive inventory,
duplication of efforts, missing/inaccurate information, etc. cost
organizations an average of 20% of their revenue, so a company that generates
$10m in revenue can easily be throwing away $2m just because of daily problems
that go unchecked. Having the frontline and frontline management skilled up
with Yellow Belt is the best way to ensure service and product quality,
speed and reduced costs.
After successful completion of this course, you will have the skills to identify and solve problems at the source.

There are different specific roles involved in a Lean Six Sigma implementation and in this module, we’ll review the roles and the competencies of each.
We have created a simple, but powerful guide to help tackle this issue – we call it Primary Problem-Solving. The focus is…in this order:
#1. Prevent issues where possible.
#2. When we cannot prevent, have a mechanism to detect issues early.
#3. and when issues are detected, be ready with a quick and effective response.
So, Prevention, Detection and Response

If you’ve been on an exceptional team, think about what made the team exceptional?
Vision, spirit, trust, listening.
Somehow, the differences between people became a source of strength instead of an obstacle. Everyone contributed, but the whole was greater than the parts.
