The LSSA - Lean Six Sigma Academy® was established in September 2009 with the objective to develop an international recognized certification scheme for all Lean and Six Sigma Belt levels. For each level the LSSA Exam Board has developed preparation guides with clear criteria for skills and competences. These Skill sets specify which of the overall Lean and Six Sigma techniques are expected to be included within certain Belt level competencies. The Continuous Improvement Maturity Model (CIMM) summarizes best practices and techniques of different methodologies in one framework, for different stages of maturity. The CIMM framework describes five consecutive stages: 

creating a solid foundation, 

creating a continuous improvement culture, 

creating stable and predictable processes, 

creating capable processes and 

creating future-proof processes.

EXIN LSSA Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt is a certification that validates a professional’s knowledge and understanding of the Lean Six Sigma principles and the most important Lean Six Sigma instruments. More specifically, knowledge and understanding of the following topics is validated: 

world-class performance 

policy development and deployment 

project management 

creating a solid foundation 

creating a continuous improvement culture 

creating stable and efficient processes 

creating capable processes

The Yellow Belt level is suitable for anyone who wishes to learn the basic Lean Six Sigma principles and the most important Lean Six Sigma instruments. Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belts have experience in the processes in daily practice and are therefore the ideal team members of Kaizen projects, or Green and Black Belt projects. 

Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belts are also responsible for enhancing operational performance within a certain department or factory line. This may refer to shortening lead times, problem solving or improving quality. Activities can be related to 5S, implementing visual management techniques, contributing to the development of standards or participating in brainstorm sessions.
