Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt

Six Sigma is a business management strategy originally developed by Motorola, USA in 1986. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.

It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization (e.g. "Black Belts" and "Green Belts") who are experts in these methods. Each Lean Six Sigma project carried out within an organisation follows a defined sequence of steps and has quantified financial targets (cost reduction or profit increase).

Train through Firebrand's accelerated methodology and you'll learn at twice the speed in a distraction-free environment.

During this 2-day accelerated course, you will gain a thorough understanding of the elementary aspects of the Lean Six Sigma Method. You will also learn to understand the Lean and Six Sigma approach, concepts and tools required for business improvement. The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification is a Lean Six Sigma 'survival-kit'.

This course has been developed for managers and professionals responsible for implementing Lean Six Sigma and wishing to understand the principles in order to work more effectively.
