KEY TOPICS
Lean Thinking | Customer Value | 8 Wastes | Process Thinking | 5S and Workplace Design

We start with an introduction into the DMAIC Problem Solving approach before exploring the various Define phase requirements.

A vast majority of projects fail because they fail to correctly capture what the project is about, what the goal is and who the customer.

KEY TOPICS
Understanding Data | Basic Statistics | Data Collection | Graphical Analysis | Process Capability | Performance Baseline

KEY TOPICS
Root Causes | Correlation & Regression | Risk Analysis | 5 Why & Fishbone | Process Flow & Pull | Graphical Analysis

The Improve phase involves finding opportunities to improve our processes by understanding the relationships between cause and effect. We look at how to generate, test and refine improvement solutions and ensure we select suitable improvement projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt does not expire, but we do recommend that you continually practise the tools and approach to keep the ideas and concept current.

To obtain the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification, you must complete the entire online course, submit the assignments and demonstrate the knowledge in a real-life setting. Remember, we have mentoring available to support you throughout the journey.

For all our more advanced Lean Six Sigma Certifications, we ask that students submit a real-world process improvement that demonstrates their ability to apply the Lean Six Sigma approach in a real-world environment.

The reason is quite simple. Lean Six Sigma is about making change happen; the theory is only part of the work. The real value comes from the application.

When you go for a job interview, the real-world experience will make the difference. Our Certification is our recommendation.

The Yellow Belt training and certification are well worth the time and money you will invest. You will learn valuable management skills and have the tools to implement new business processes to dramatically increase the productivity and profitability of your organisation. Once certified, students are often eligible for promotions and pay increases. In addition, certification can make an individual more marketable to potential employers. As a result, certification is generally seen as a valuable investment.
The certification is not difficult as long as you are willing to commit the time and effort to study and complete the full course, online training and real-life project.
Lean was engineered to build businesses that last. The Lean Six Sigma Certification will equip you with insights on how to identify and drive business improvements in the changing landscape of business.
Yes. Make yourself stand out by not only thinking like a leader but by being able to take action like one. These sigma tools are customer-focused and value-driven – meaning they apply across all business contexts.

Our Lean Six Certifications are internationally recognised as key problem-solving and critical thinking qualifications. These certifications show you have the capability to deliver successful projects, drive change and manage projects. 

This combination with creative problem solving, analytical skills and the ability to make change happen, will stand you above 95% of all candidates for any promotion.

The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification is open to everyone without any previous Lean Six Sigma experience. This means there is no prerequisite enrollment training required. These courses have been built for our blue-chip clients, and this is the first time we have made these available to individuals.

We currently require learners looking to purchase more than one seat for the Foundations of Lean Six Sigma Certificate to let us know by emailing academy@leanscape.io, and we will take care of the process of payment and your enrollment.

The online study will take the students between 4 to 6 weeks to complete. There are several assignments. For the full certification, you must complete a real-world Lean Six Sigma project which may take 2 to 8 weeks.
The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certificate is given once you have completed the full course – the online training and the real-life project. If you are unable to complete a real-life project we may offer a simulated project in some circumstances. Please get in touch if you have further questions.
