In today’s fast-paced, competitive business environment, organizations are continuously striving for operational excellence. One of the most effective approaches to achieve this is through Lean Six Sigma, a methodology that combines the principles of Lean (which focuses on waste reduction) and Six Sigma (which focuses on reducing variation). On 12th Sep, 2024, Vision Excellence Consulting successfully conducted a Yellow Belt training session at Madras Management Association (MMA) in Chennai, aimed at empowering professionals with these essential skills.
What is Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt?
The Yellow Belt certification is the first step in the Lean Six Sigma journey. It equips participants with foundational knowledge about Lean principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and problem-solving techniques. Yellow Belt holders become key contributors in continuous improvement initiatives, capable of identifying waste and inefficiencies within processes.

The training, led by our renowned faculty, Dr. Gopal Sivakumar, was tailored for professionals seeking to enhance their skills in process improvement.

His practical approach, real-world examples, and interactive sessions provided the attendees with actionable insights.
