About Course

The OBEI Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Program

The OBEI Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Program is designed to provide individuals with a foundational understanding of Six Sigma methodology. It is ideal for those who have completed the White Belt certification and wish to deepen their knowledge of process improvement techniques and tools.

 

Overview:

Objective: The program aims to equip participants with a thorough understanding of the Six Sigma framework, focusing on its application in improving business processes and reducing waste. It is intended to provide participants with practical skills and methodologies to actively contribute to Six Sigma projects.

 

Key Concepts:

Introduction to Six Sigma: Detailed overview of the Six Sigma philosophy, its history, and application across various industries. Recap of White Belt topics to set the stage for a deeper dive into Six Sigma methodologies.

DMAIC Methodology: In-depth exploration of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) process, including tools and techniques used in each phase:

Define Phase: Focus on clearly defining the problem, setting project goals, defining scope, and identifying key stakeholders.

Measure Phase: Collecting data that accurately represents the current process, choosing the right metrics, and ensuring reliability and validity in measurements.

Analyze Phase: Identifying root causes of problems using tools like Pareto charts and fishbone diagrams.

Improve Phase: Exploring potential solutions and designing improvements to the process, including brainstorming, testing, and implementing the best solutions.

Control Phase: Ensuring that improvements are maintained over time, discussing control charts, process documentation, and creating monitoring plans.

Process Mapping Tools: Advanced training in process mapping, flow charts, and other tools for identifying and implementing improvements.

Role of a Yellow Belt: Understanding the expanded role and responsibilities of a Yellow Belt, including leading smaller projects and supporting Green and Black Belts in larger initiatives.

Lean Concepts in Six Sigma: Introduction to Lean principles such as value stream mapping and the 5S methodology, focusing on eliminating waste and improving efficiency.

Target Audience:

The program is suited for employees who have completed the White Belt certification and are looking to deepen their understanding of process improvement. It is ideal for those who wish to take on more active roles in Six Sigma projects and contribute to organizational efficiency.

 

Certification:

Upon successful completion of the training, participants receive a Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification presented by Ontario Business Excellence Incorporation, Canada. This certification serves as recognition of their enhanced understanding of Six Sigma concepts and their ability to lead and support process improvement initiatives.

 

Benefits:

Enhanced Skills: Provides employees with a deeper understanding of process improvement tools and methodologies, making them more effective contributors to Six Sigma projects.

Career Advancement: Prepares participants for pursuing higher Six Sigma certifications such as Green Belt or Black Belt.

Organizational Impact: Equips organizations with skilled individuals who can identify and implement process improvements, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

The Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification builds on the foundational knowledge gained in the White Belt program, offering participants a more detailed understanding of Six Sigma methodologies and tools. It prepares them to take on more significant roles in process improvement initiatives, contributing to organizational efficiency and quality management.

Module 01: Introduction to Six Sigma
Six Sigma Yellow Belt – Module 1 (Introduction). It covers the history of Six Sigma, roles and responsibilities (Champion, Master Black Belt, Black Belt, Green Belt, Yellow Belt, White Belt), its purpose and benefits (quality, cost reduction, customer focus, continuous improvement), the statistical meaning of Sigma levels (from 1 to 6), and key concepts like variation reduction, defects, and quality

Module 02 – Dive into DMAIC – Define Phase
Six Sigma Yellow Belt course summary (Module 2 – Define Phase). It explains how to set project goals and scope using SMART criteria, capture the Voice of the Customer (VOC) and translate it into Critical to Quality (CTQ) metrics, build SIPOC diagrams for process mapping, and develop a Project Charter. The module emphasizes alignment with organizational objectives, customer needs, and structured frameworks to ensure successful improvement projects

Module 03: Dive into DMAIC – Measure Phase
Six Sigma Yellow Belt – Module 3 (Measure Phase). It explains how to gather accurate data to establish a baseline of current process performance, ensuring decisions are fact-based. It covers types of data (continuous, discrete, binary, nominal, ordinal), sampling techniques (random, stratified), and Measurement System Analysis (MSA) focusing on accuracy, precision, stability, and linearity. The phase emphasizes building stakeholder confidence, avoiding misleading assumptions, and using tools like histograms and control charts to analyze performance

Module 4 – Dive into DMAIC – Analyze Phase
Six Sigma Yellow Belt – Module 4 (Analyze Phase). It explains how to identify the root causes of defects using tools like the Fishbone (Cause-and-Effect) Diagram, the 5 Whys Technique, and Pareto Charts. The module emphasizes structured problem analysis, prioritizing issues using the 80/20 rule, and focusing on the most impactful causes to drive effective solutions

Module 05 – Dive into DMAIC – Improve Phase
Six Sigma Yellow Belt – Module 5 (Improve Phase). It focuses on developing and testing solutions within the DMAIC framework. Key topics include brainstorming techniques (classic, brainwriting, SCAMPER, mind mapping), solution prioritization using Impact–Effort and Importance–Urgency matrices, and pilot testing with steps from planning to refining. It also covers solution validation through user feedback, KPIs, and UAT. The module emphasizes applying creative methods, validating solutions in real-world conditions, and sustaining improvements with tools like control charts

Module 06: Dive into DMAIC – Control Phase
The module explains the Control Phase of Six Sigma’s DMAIC process, focusing on sustaining improvements through control charts, visual management, standardization, and effective handover processes. It highlights common challenges, solutions, and emphasizes tools to ensure long-term process stability and success

Module 07: Responsibilities of Yellow Belts in Six Sigma
The module explains the role of Six Sigma Yellow Belts, who support projects by collecting data, doing basic analysis, mapping processes, and reinforcing improvements across the DMAIC cycle. They use simple tools (5 Whys, check sheets, Pareto charts), aid communication, and contribute to cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency, while building a path to higher Six Sigma roles

Module 08: Lean Concepts in Six Sigma
The module introduces Lean Six Sigma, combining Lean’s waste elimination and speed with Six Sigma’s defect reduction. Yellow Belts help by spotting waste, collecting data, and supporting projects, driving faster, higher-quality, and cost-efficient processes
