If you’ve been curious about Lean Six Sigma and how it can make everyday work smoother, faster, and more predictable, the Yellow Belt Certification Series at Operations University is the natural next step. This series was built for professionals who want practical skills they can put to work immediately, without long lectures or academic jargon.

What You’ll Learn

The Yellow Belt series focuses about 90% on Lean tools and 10% on Six Sigma concepts, giving you a strong foundation in the techniques that drive fast, sustainable improvement.

You’ll explore topics like:

• Kaizen– How small, ongoing changes deliver meaningful results.

• Root Cause Analysis & The Five Whys– Solving problems beneath the surface.

• Mistake Proofing (Poka-Yoke)– Designing processes that help people get things right the first time.

• Standard Work– Establishing consistent, reliable methods that support continuous improvement.

• Real Project Examples– Short stories from successful Yellow Belt-level improvements.

Each lesson builds naturally on the last, helping you see your work differently and understand where meaningful improvements can be made.
