Explore lean six sigma, a method that eliminates waste and reduces defects using data. Focus on DMAIC for improvements and the yellow belt role toward certification.
Explore the origins of the Toyota production system, including jidoka and kanban, and how lean management made Toyota the largest automobile manufacturer in the world.
Discover lean waste, or muda, and the eight wastes—transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overprocessing, overproduction, defects, and skills—showing how preventing waste drives lean.
Explore push and pull production, compare make-to-stock and make-to-order systems, and learn how Kanban triggers pull production to reduce inventory and speed throughput.
Six Sigma uses the normal distribution and standard deviation to set sigma levels, reducing defects per million opportunities and applying cost of quality to reach zero defects.
Master the DMAIC framework—define, measure, analyze, improve, and control—paired with PDCA concepts, voice of the customer, and root-cause analysis to improve processes using data.
Learn to select and start Lean Six Sigma projects using Define and Measure, focusing on measurable inputs, VoC, and CtQ to align with strategy and drive data-driven decisions.
Explore define and measure tools, including SIPOC, measurement tables, scatter plots, histograms, and gauge R&R (repeatability and reproducibility), to establish reliable data foundations for the analyze phase.
Identify root causes in the analyze phase using Ishikawa diagrams, Pareto charts, and 5Y, then design an ideal process with swim lane diagrams and Lean concepts.
In the improve phase, apply 5S, one piece flow, and SMED to fix root causes from Analyze, and plan with A3 and Kaizen, while prioritizing change management and stakeholder involvement.
Master the control phase by re-measuring CtQ results against targets, using control charts to ensure sustainability and guide timely interventions.
Summarize the Lean Six Sigma journey from Lean history to Six Sigma, explain DMAIC, CtQ from the voice of the customer, and highlight five critical success factors.
Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification – Practical, Compact and Complete
Take the next step in your Lean Six Sigma journey and build a strong practical foundation in Lean Management, Six Sigma and the DMAIC methodology.
This Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Course is designed for learners who want more than a basic introduction but do not want to spend several weeks completing an overly theoretical training program.
The course combines the essential theory, development and practical tools of Lean Six Sigma in a clear and structured learning path. With approximately two hours of focused video lessons, practical examples, quizzes and a final certification test, you can complete the full course within one day.
Instead of presenting isolated terms and tools, the course helps you understand how Lean and Six Sigma work together to improve quality, reduce waste, increase efficiency and solve process problems systematically.
What Makes This Yellow Belt Course Different?
Many Yellow Belt courses focus mainly on Six Sigma terminology and the individual DMAIC phases. This course takes a broader and more balanced approach by also placing strong emphasis on Lean thinking, waste reduction and process flow.
You will learn how Lean concepts such as waste, Value Stream Mapping, Push, Pull and Kanban complement the Six Sigma approach to quality, variation and structured problem-solving.
The course is practical, focused and designed to give you the knowledge required to contribute effectively to process improvement and Continuous Improvement projects.
What You Will Learn
In this course, you will learn:
what Lean Six Sigma is and how the methodology developed
how Lean Management and Six Sigma complement each other
how to identify waste and inefficiencies in processes
the principles of customer value and process flow
how Value Stream Mapping helps visualize and improve processes
the differences between Push and Pull systems
how Kanban can support efficient process flow
the basic Six Sigma approach to quality, defects and process variation
the DMAIC improvement cycle: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control
the purpose and activities of each DMAIC project phase
important tools used to understand, analyze and improve processes
critical success factors for Lean Six Sigma projects
how to support a Lean Six Sigma project team
how to prepare for the Yellow Belt certification test
By the end of the course, you will understand the essential principles and tools of Lean Six Sigma, recognize improvement opportunities and contribute more confidently to structured DMAIC projects.
Practical Learning Without Unnecessary Complexity
Lean Six Sigma should not be learned only through definitions and theoretical models.
The lessons use practical explanations and examples to show how the concepts can be applied in real processes. You will learn not only what the individual methods are called, but also why they are useful and when they should be applied.
The course gives you the necessary theory without overwhelming you with advanced statistics or unnecessary complexity.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is particularly suitable for:
beginners who want to build a complete Lean Six Sigma foundation
learners who have already completed a White Belt course
employees who participate in process improvement projects
professionals working in quality, operations, production or logistics
project managers and business analysts
employees in finance, healthcare, IT, administration and service organizations
team leaders who want to improve efficiency and reduce waste
students and graduates who want to strengthen their professional profile
anyone interested in Lean Management, Six Sigma, Continuous Improvement or Operational Excellence
learners who want to continue toward Green Belt level
No advanced statistical knowledge or specialized software is required.

Your Instructor
My name is Daniel Holzer, and I will guide you through the course.
I hold a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering and have practical experience leading Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement projects in an international industrial environment. I have also worked in global Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental Management.
As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and instructor, my goal is to explain the methodology in a clear, coherent and practical way.
What learners say:
“Very informative and easy to understand. Was able to watch the videos multiple times and pick up new information each time! Very good course indeed!”
— Martin Davidson
“Daniel did a great job on providing information about LEAN and SIX SIGMA. As someone new to the concept, the presentation was just the right amount of information that is relevant without being overwhelming.”
— Eric Ho
