We have heard about Green Belts, Black Belts, and Master Black Belts.
The Juran Institute is giving a Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training.
Corpedia/Juran has released a series entitled Six Sigma DMAIC Process?Production, the first of three Six Sigma Yellow Belt certificates. This five-course, six-hour series teaches individuals how to apply Six Sigma basics to manufacturing industries. Upon completion of the programs, individuals will receive a certificate of completion, a credential that corroborates the individual has attained a thorough understanding of the material.
According to isixsigma, a Yellow Belt typically has a basic knowledge of Six Sigma, but does not lead projects on their own, as does a Green Belt or Black Belt. It is often responsible for the development of process maps to support Six Sigma projects. A Yellow Belt participates as a core team member or subject matter expert (SME) on a project or projects. In addition, Yellow Belts may often be responsible for running smaller process improvement projects using the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) methodology. PDCA, often referred to as the Deming Wheel, enables Yellow Belts to identify processes that could benefit from improvement. These smaller Yellow Belt projects often get escalated to the Green Belt or Black Belt level where a DMAIC methodolgy is used to maximize cost savings using Statistical Process Control.
