Summary and Objectives

This course provides an overview of Six Sigma concepts and the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control process, along with a group of basic problem-solving tools. The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt course is comprised of three sessions, with lessons on specific topics within each session. The first session provides an overview of Six Sigma concepts, background, and the Six Sigma improvement process (D-M-A-I-C). The second and third sessions will show you how to develop and apply specific Six Sigma tools and methods to arrive at a solution to a business challenge - to make things better.

Session One can be completed as a self-study assignment and should take you 2-3 hours to complete. The course is designed so that you can cover individual lessons over a period of time. At the beginning of Session Two, you will learn how to apply project selection and team chartering skills. It is suggested, but not required, that you work on an actual project while taking the course. The time required to complete Sessions Two and Three depends greatly upon the nature of your project and the time required to resolve project-specific issues.

As you become proficient in all of the tools necessary to define, measure, analyze, improve, and control Six Sigma improvement projects, you will be prepared to play an important role as part of a Six Sigma improvement team.

Course Structure and Requirements

MoreSteam courses provide content-on-demand to offer the highest degree of student flexibility. You can set your own schedule and progress at your own speed, terminating and re-entering sessions whenever you wish.

All course sessions use a mix of multimedia to present material, including text, synchronized audio slide shows, diagrams, charts, simulations, and audio lectures. Links to outside research resources are provided to explore chosen subjects in greater detail.

Course access is provided for 365 days beginning at the time of enrollment.

As you work through the course you will be asked to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in four ways:

• Interactive Practice Excercises will be presented throughout each session so that you can try your new skills and get immediate feedback.
• Supplemental Exercises will be presented at the end of every session to practice new concepts. Supplemental Exercises are self-graded and may be shared in the Virtual Classroom Discussion area.
• Quizzes will be conducted at the end of every session. Quizzes are interactive, and provide immediate feedback to close the learning loop.
• Green Belt Project: We strongly suggest that a meaningful project should accompany this coursework. The learning experience will be enhanced significantly if concepts and tools are practiced on a real-world project as the course is completed. Successful project work is also required for any certification process.

Course Sequence

The course is presented in a logical sequence to follow the Six Sigma DMAIC improvement process. We believe that you will learn most efficiently by following the sequence presented. In particular, the first session presents an overview of Six Sigma, which will be helpful to put the remaining sessions in proper context. However, the sessions are modular, and we encourage you to explore the material. You are free to move forward and backward throughout the course. You can skip ahead or go back and review material that you already covered. The course map feature allows you to move point to point, from anywhere to anywhere. The course map status column will tell you which pages you have not visited.
