Six Sigma Yellow Belt

Six Sigma combines a detailed roadmap (DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) with statistical tools to attack and resolve your most critical business issues. Successful Six Sigma projects produce measurable results and help increase a company’s skills in process optimization and continuous improvement.

Six Sigma Yellow Belt training is a two-day program that covers the basic concepts and language of Six Sigma, along with an overview of the DMAIC process and a set of basic tools. Yellow Belts serve on project teams led by a Green or Black Belt.

A Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training Certificate is granted by Purdue MEP to those participants who attend both days of training.

Objectives:

• Explain what Six Sigma is and how it is used.
• List the steps in the main DMAIC process.
• Explain how the following tools can assist with continuous improvement efforts: Pareto analysis, CT trees, process maps, SIPOCs, cause and effect diagrams, countermeasure matrix, and control plans.
• Explain how data plays a role in continuous improvement.
• Understand and be able to apply fundamentals of Measuring System Analysis (MSA)
• Develop technical comprehension of error proofing and process controls

Intended Audience: Team Members involved in process improvement projects. Entry-Level professionals or staff seeking to gain knowledge in Six Sigma. Individuals planning to pursue Green Belt or Black Belt certification in the future. Managers and Supervisors aiming to foster a culture of continuous improvement
