Lean Six Sigma provides a rigorous and structured approach to help manage and improve quality and performance. It is the most widely used approach to solve business problems across every kind of business throughout the world.
The objective of the two day Lean Six Sigma Yellow belt programme is to provide an introduction to Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques enabling delegates to be members of improvement teams or to lead small improvement projects themselves. The course leads to certification through the British Quality Foundation where required. This is an interactive-workshop style course with lots of discussion and learn-by-doing group activities.

PREREQUISITES
None – this course assumes no prior knowledge of Lean Six Sigma. You do not need Minitab software to complete this programme as many Green Belt projects, particularly in non-manufacturing environments do not require the level of statistical training which would involve statistical software. However, there are free to use graphical tools on the Catalyst website which are included in the training.
