Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training program
What is a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt?
Essentially, a Yellow Belt is versed in the basics of Lean Six Sigma methodology and is primarily a support for operational excellence or improvement projects. A Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training can also help the managers use appropriate problem-solving tools to solve daily operations or production problems.
