Six Sigma Yellow Belt — Tools in Practice

Lead small improvement projects with core Six Sigma tools

Yellow Belts can lead small improvement projects. This course teaches you to use fishbone diagrams, Pareto charts, control charts, and basic statistics to drive measurable improvements — with Python for data analysis.

Framework: DMAIC + Basic Statistical Tools

Yellow Belt extends DMAIC with practical tools: Project Charter and SIPOC for Define; data types and sampling for Measure; Fishbone, 5 Whys, and Pareto for Analyse; Solution Selection Matrix for Improve; and Control Charts for Control.

Capstone Project: Mini-DMAIC on a Real Dataset

Run a complete DMAIC cycle on a provided manufacturing defect dataset. Build a Pareto chart to identify the vital few defect types, construct a fishbone diagram for the top defect, and design a control chart to monitor the improved process.
