What is this course about?
Welcome to our Certified Lean Yellow Belt (CLYB) online course page. CLYBs typically work in teams and resolve local process problems on an on-going basis. This course takes place over a 4 interactive 4-hour webinars, where candidates work in teams. Each team of 3 or 4 people brings a process problem to be worked on during and after the course contact hours are completed. The learning journey takes us through Toyota 8-step A3 problem solving. You will discover how to understand customer needs, identify the 7 wastes, analyse process problems and problem solve in a structured way. The course objective is to enable the problem solver and team to ‘find a problem, fix a problem and prevent a problem from coming back’. CLYB certification is awarded on full attendance at completion of a small scope project.
In consultation with Lean Ireland tutors, your organisation will select an appropriate small scope project in advance of the course start date. Soft copy course materials are available for all candidates to download. The course content is customised to meet the organisation’s need, at no extra cost.

Certification is awarded on full attendance, completion of 2 short assignments and a small project. Course materials and recordings of all webinars are available for all candidates to download.
