 This course teaches participants the Lean Six Sigma philosophy and how to apply it in his or her role and workplace on a day-to-day basis. Participants will learn about what Six Sigma and Lean are, both separately and how they work together. The participants will continue their exploration of each phase of Six Sigma's DMAIC methodology, including, project charters, process mapping, cause-and-effect tools, simple data analysis, change management and process improvement, and basic control methods. Because of their knowledge of Lean Six Sigma, participants who complete the course will be able to identify process improvement opportunities for escalation to Green or Black Belts and can be a valuable resource within Lean Six Sigma project teams when improving that process, if needed.Topics covered in class are relevant to all levels of experience. Case studies and in-class simulations allow the participant to combine and utilize concepts learned during the course. C e r t i f i c a t i o n a s a S i x S i g m a Y e l l o w B e l t: Upon successful completion of all requirements for this course, participants will receive a certificate stating that he/she is Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. There is no examination that needs to be completed for certification. Instead, certification is achieved through: > Instructor-led Training: The first step in a participant's journey to certification is instructor-led classroom training. In addition to the instruction, participants will enjoy in-class discussions as well as individual and group labs. > Individual Assignments: Participants will be given a few assignments that they complete on their own time during and after classroom training. Because our goal is to train resourceful Yellow Belts, participants will be allowed to use any resources available to them, including course notes, texts and other books, Internet content and news sites and mentors, including those provided by NSU. |
