Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Training

Six Sigma is an improvement methodology that identifies and removes the basic causes of error in any business process. It aims at minimizing variability and eliminating marginal methods that are used in traditional contexts. Six Sigma professionals work towards enhancing productivity, reducing turn-around times and achieving financial benefits.
The Six Sigma Yellow Belt is the second level of certification, after the White Belt. Certified Yellow Belts can work as a team member in a Six Sigma Project Team. Yellow Belts are responsible for monitoring and evaluating work progress and process enhancements. They work to support, or under the supervision of a Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt. Six Sigma certified professionals work on continual quality improvement by analyzing and solving quality problems, and creating a high performance organization.
This course will give you a basic understanding of Six Sigma and its focus on eliminating defects through process improvement and variation reduction by applying Six Sigma improvement projects. The course content efficiently covers all of the recognized Six Sigma Yellow Belt topics in a comprehensive manner. Thousands of companies across the world have discovered the far-reaching benefits of this methodology; with this certification you can gain a basic understanding of the Six Sigma concepts, and get insights into the techniques, metrics and basic improvement methodologies
