Yellow Belt

SRHC's Lean Academy Lean Yellow Belt course has been designed to teach Salina Regional Production System (SRPS) fundamentals and its application. It is intended for part time improvement team project leaders. Students are trained and tested on their understanding and ability to apply the tools and techniques of select elements of the SRPS methodology. As part of the SRPS methodology, students are taught how to integrate Lean into an overall approach to process improvement and project management.

Training is conducted using face-to-face format that includes examples of successful performance improvement, interactive simulations, and the most current and robust tools and techniques available. On average, students complete the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training course in 8 hours (Yellow Belt is a one-day course). Class is from 8 am to 4:30 with a short lunch break (on your own).
