Lean Yellow Belt

Lean Yellow Belt Training is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of Lean methods and prepare them to participate, as contributors, to Lean projects. The program outlines the essential Lean tools and practices that can be applied within an organization to increase service efficiency and quality, improve customer and staff satisfaction, and reduce waste. Participants will develop high-level current state value stream maps that depict activity flow and indicate value-added and non-value-added activities. These maps are analyzed during the training to identify bottlenecks, redundancies and inefficient flow.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: understand Lean concepts and tools; and recognize the appropriate steps in developing a VSM and conducting a 5S.

This course is for individuals wanting to gain additional skills and resources for productivity improvement including: front line workers, administrators, engineers, supervisors, operations support and all management team members.
