slide 1: Why Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification is important for
Career development
There are billions of employees all over the globe seeking jobs in various
departments including Information Technology Sales Finance Marketing
Administration etc. while the employed ones are working towards achieving
their next career goals of getting that increment promotion or a job in a highly
reputed organization. One cannot simply rely on educational qualifications to
provide much needed alleviation in the career.
Ever since the introduction of Lean Six Sigma LSS professional course the
corporate world has found a way to create employees with better skills which
benefit the organization. Lean Six Sigma courses are globally accepted by
organizations when they are certified by International Association for Six Sigma
Association IASSC and the Council for Six Sigma Certification CSSC. LSS course is
divided into three parts yellow belt green belt and black belt. Six Sigma Yellow
Belt course includes basic understanding of Six Sigma and Lean management
concepts. It delivers a broad perspective of what is Lean Six Sigma about and its
basic concepts.
Let us understand the benefits of LSS Yellow Belt Training to the organization and
the employee.
1. Skills implementation on daily tasks: The learnings of Six Sigma Yellow
Belt course can be easily implemented on the daily work flow of
employees. For example one can use Pareto analysis of Six Sigma to detect
areas of improvement in the task. Another technique learnt from the
Yellow Belt course called ‘Poka-Yoke’ is useful in eradicating the errors
caused in the completion of the task.
2. Perspective towards Company changes: An employee ordinarily has a
general idea of his organization where the company has various
departments in which different jobs are executed. Such a perception of the
company is altered and corrected for employees during Yellow Belt training
slide 2: of LSS as it explains that there is a work flow for which every department is
needed to be in sync at all time. Employees understand a company is a
system.
3. Graphical tools for performance measurement: It is very crucial from
the angle of employee and the organization as well to measure the process
performances of the organization so that the errors in it can be identified
for rectification. Yamazumi is one of the many Lean Six Sigma tools which
displays process steps separately using varied colours.
4. Simple tools easy implementation: The advanced levels of Lean Six
Sigma courses educate with complex and tough to understand programs
which find implementation in very specific and few instances within the
organization. However LSS Yellow Belt Training updates you with tools
which are simple and are applicable in the routine tasks of employees.
5. Organizational benefits: There are instances where employees come
trained with LSS courses into the organization. In this manner not only do
employees come trained but it also means that the organization need not
invest time and money into training them.
Considering the abovementioned benefits it is fair to conclude that despite being
the very first of three levels in the Lean Six Sigma certification courses the Yellow
Belt Training is a good enough training for employees who cannot find time for
LSS Green or Black Belt.
