Across the Full DMAIC Cycle
Skills you will gain in this Yellow Belt training span the three DMAIC phases covered at Yellow Belt level (Define, Measure, and Control) plus the core Lean toolkit, mapped to the IASSC Yellow Belt Body of Knowledge. By the end of the program you can support improvement projects, interpret basic process metrics, and apply foundational Lean tools at work.
Frame improvement opportunities using the Define phase: build a problem statement and project charter, capture Voice of the Customer, identify CTQs, and understand Six Sigma roles, metrics, and the Y = f(x) approach.
Apply the Measure phase to map processes with SIPOC and value stream maps, build cause-and-effect diagrams, and understand basic statistics, measurement system analysis, and process capability at an awareness level.
Use the Analyze phase to study patterns of variation, apply inferential statistics and sampling concepts, and understand hypothesis testing so you can help separate real causes from noise on a project team.
Work through the Improve phase basics, including simple linear regression, correlation, and the fundamentals of designed and full factorial experiments, to support testing and refining process changes.
Apply the Control phase using Lean controls, statistical process control charts, and control plans so improvements hold over time and do not quietly slip back.
Put practical Lean methods to work, including the seven wastes, 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, and Poka-Yoke, to reduce waste and standardize everyday workflows.
