Yellow Belt training provides an introductory understanding of the fundamentals of Six Sigma, its metrics and the basic improvement methodologies. Additionally, Yellow Belts are eligible to pursue Green Belt certification.
The Yellow Belt will rely mostly on customer-level metrics, such as voice of the customer, along with efficiency metrics such as ease of use or cycle time (the time it takes to complete an activity) to identify opportunities for improvement. When it comes to business value, the Yellow Belt’s primary focus is making work easier to perform and more satisfying to consume by reducing waste.
The Green Belt and Black Belt perform more advanced data analysis to help identify root cause issues, quantify risk, and measure outcomes. To be effective, the belts need to be well versed in statistics, financial analysis, data planning, and measurement systems. The primary focus for these advanced belts are to deliver measurable value back to the business and to the customer. Data allows us to establish a common language: • Communicate in an objective manner • Collecting quantifiable facts • Establish baseline information • Facilitate cost-benefit analysis • Quantify the lasting impact of a solution through comparison • Allow the spread of a specific solution across many areas
