• Analyze a process to locate and quantify bottlenecks, overcapacities, waste, and dysfunctions of all kinds
• Make operations faster, more agile, leaner, and more reliable
• Develop a performance management system based on field indicators and problem tracking routines
• Conduct a flow problem-solving workshop and/or organizational efficiency using the "kaizen event" approach

Six Sigma Yellow Belt Module :

• Analyze the results of a satisfaction survey and customer expectations to identify the quality criterion that needs improvement
• Assess the magnitude and cost of a quality issue
