About the Course
Gain a broad understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, and Quality tools. By utilizing lean and basic statistical tools, you will learn how to create a culture of problem-solving. In the class, we share stories and examples that help you learn what tools to use and when to use them.
Only 40% of the class is lecture-based with the rest of the class focused on the application of knowledge through interactive, hands-on simulations with real-world data. In these simulations, you will be broken into improvement teams where you will learn the importance of data collection and data analysis. By learning in a team environment, you will be better prepared to work with Green Belts and Black Belts back at your company.
Our Six Sigma Yellow Belt curriculum aligns with the ASQ Six Sigma Yellow Belt Body of Knowledge. This ensures that you will be prepared for an ASQ Yellow Belt certification. By the end of this class, you will be able to provide meaningful assistance in the areas of data collection, data analysis, and correct tool selection.
