Lean Yellow Belt Training

What is Lean Yellow Belt?

Lean Yellow Belt is a certification level within Lean that comprises the principles of Lean and prepares you to actively participate in improvement projects within your organisation. As a Yellow Belt, you are trained to perform specific tasks, such as supporting workshops, identifying and eliminating waste, and participating in improvement initiatives.

It is important to understand that Lean is not a ready-made solution but rather a philosophy and way of thinking that constantly demands improvement and optimisation. By using the right tools and actively involving employees in the improvement process, organisations are well placed to move towards a more efficient and customer-centric way of working.

Lean Yellow Belt is suitable for those who want to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement within their organisation. Once you have completed the training you will be ready to tackle improvement projects and make a valuable contribution to the growth and efficiency of your organisation.

What will you learn during the Lean Yellow Belt training?

During this classroom training, you will gain in-depth knowledge of the Lean philosophy. You will go through various modules that cover the different phases of Lean, including the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) and DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control) methodologies. You will learn:

• The background and principles of Lean, including the focus on creating value, eliminating waste, and striving for continuous improvement. You will understand how Lean can have a positive impact on organisations and how to define value from the customer’s perspective.
• Important Lean techniques and tools used to streamline processes and improve efficiency. You will learn methods such as 5S, value stream mapping, kanban, Kaizen, and visual management, and how to apply them to identify waste, optimise processes, and improve flow.
• How to create A3 charters, learning how to structure and communicate complex problems to stakeholders. This helps create a common understanding and direction for process improvement.
• Process mapping and analysis, learning how to map processes, visualise workflows, and identify the inter-relationships between activities. This helps identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement.
• Problem identification and resolution using the PDCA and DMAIC methodologies. You will learn how to systematically address problems by setting goals, conducting experiments, monitoring results, and adjusting processes based on feedback. You will gain insight into root cause analysis and learn how to implement sustainable solutions.
• Identifying root causes and executing small improvement projects in your department. You will learn how to collect and analyse data to identify the causes and make small-scale improvements. You will be equipped with tools to effectively implement and communicate changes within your team or department.

This training provides a deep understanding of the Lean philosophy and equips you with practical knowledge and skills to apply Lean techniques and methodologies.
