Lean Six Sigma 6 Sigma Yellow Belt

Lean Six Sigma is a modern combination of business improvement methodologies suited to both manufacturing and transactional companies in all business sectors. Traditional Lean Enterprise generally focuses on removal of waste and traditional Six Sigma project focus is understanding root cause and the reduction of variation. By combining the two, the result is reduced variation, improved quality, and removal of waste with increased velocity of throughput. The IQMS Lean Six Sigma training courses are modular programmes delivered by IQMS tutors and experienced Six Sigma Master Black Belts with the requisite qualifications to deliver training, mentoring and consulting.
This course is suitable for lean practitioners, six sigma stakeholders, champions, change agents and support staff who require a basic understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology and the potential business benefits (supported by examples) either for introducing and/or maintaining a Lean Six Sigma programme.
