LEAN YELLOW BELT CERTIFICATION

This live-virtual online course follows the Define/Measure/Analyze/Improve/Control (DMAIC) format. This course focuses on Lean’s process efficiency concepts and tools (productivity) and reducing processing or service cost without affected customer performance. This 24-hour training consists of 40+ modules / lessons, a pre and post-course survey, case studies, and a closed book exam. TO GET CERTIFIED, the participants must successfully complete a project, which will benefit their organization with immediate results.

NOTE: Participants in this course are required to have either completed the Lean 101: Introduction to Lean course, or have foundational knowledge of Lean Manufacturing / Process Improvement concepts.

Any organization that intends to thrive in the 21st century must continually be looking inward and at their operating costs.
