Striving for continuous improvement.

Kelli Mahan has received her Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification. This accomplishment highlights her drive for continuous improvement and positions her as a valuable asset in driving process enhancement initiatives.

A Gateway to Process Improvement

A Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt is a person who possesses basic knowledge of Six Sigma methodologies. Additionally, it is recognized by the Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC). Although they do not lead projects independently, they are essential team members or subject matter experts in various initiatives. Their responsibilities often include developing process maps to support Six Sigma projects and leading smaller process improvement efforts using the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) methodology.

PDCA: Empowering Yellow Belts to Drive Change

The Yellow Belt’s primary tool is the PDCA methodology, also called the Deming Wheel. This methodology helps Yellow Belts identify processes for improvement and foster a culture of constant enhancement within their organizations.

“I’m excited to acquire the knowledge and skills that comprise the Lean and Six Sigma methods and protocols. They will help me be more effective in my work with both the Onboarding Team and the Delivery Support Team as we create new processes and revise existing ones to support our clients best, whether external or internal. I can’t wait to dive into the Green Belt content!”
