    Skills You Will Build in This Yellow Belt CourseDMAIC and Lean Essentials

    Map Processes with SIPOC and VSM

    Document how work really flows using SIPOC diagrams, process maps and value stream maps, so you can see where delays, handoffs and waste occur in everyday operations.

    Measure Quality with Six Sigma Metrics

    Apply foundational metrics such as DPU, DPMO, FTY, RTY, cycle time and cost of poor quality to put a number on process performance and track improvement.

    Analyze Variation and Root Causes

    Use fishbone diagrams, Pareto analysis and basic descriptive statistics to find the root causes behind defects and variation rather than treating the symptoms.

    Apply Core Lean Tools

    Put Lean tools to work, including 5S, Kanban, Poka-Yoke and the seven wastes, to reduce clutter, prevent errors and keep processes flowing smoothly.
