Six Sigma Yellow Belt: Transactional (Juran Transactional)

To reach a Six Sigma level of performance means that an organization has a goal to reduce defects to 3.4 parts per million or fewer. Achieving this goal can only be accomplished through the breakthrough reduction of process variation, and maintaining strict control standards. Combining Six Sigma levels of improvement with effective team skills has provided vast advances in many organizations. The fundamental objective of Juran’s Six Sigma Transactional curriculum is to develop a methodology and strategy that enables individuals and organizations to successfully improve processes and reduce variation. At a project level the Six Sigma DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) is an improvement system for existing processes falling below specification and provides methods for obtaining breakthrough improvement. With the Six Sigma Yellow Belt: Transactional workbook, students will learn the tools and techniques of Lean and Six Sigma, apply Lean and Six Sigma tools in a project, practice the application of Lean and Six Sigma methods and tools through real life exercises, develop skills to manage team dynamics, and become prepared to complete your Belt certification requirements. Exercises and examples are specific to transactional organizations. Yellow Belts are subject matter experts selected to work as team members on Six Sigma improvement projects using the Six Sigma toolkit including graphical analysis tools.
