Why This Guide Exists
Introducing the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Practitioner Guide
No one sets out to run a broken process. When products keep arriving without the right paperwork, when the same problem gets patched instead of solved, when a team spends more time firefighting than fixing the issue but it is rarely because people do not care. It is because nobody has ever stopped, mapped it out, and asked why?
That is the belief behind this guide. It gives practitioners a clear and honest way to look at their process, find the cause, and fix it themselves.
What it is
The Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Practitioner Guide is a step-by-step handbook for anyone running their first DMAIC improvement project. It follows all five phases Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control and uses a single worked example that runs from cover to cover, so the tools connect rather than sitting in isolation. Alongside it sits a 60-term glossary and a full set of downloadable, fillable templates, ready to use on a real project from day one.
How it is built
There is no padding, and no theory for the sake of theory. Every chapter answers one question: what do I actually do next? It is written as a desk reference — something to keep open beside you while you run your project, not a textbook to read once and shelve.

Who it is for
Yellow Belt practitioners tackling their first project. Anyone who has finished a training course and been handed a real problem with no obvious next step. Team leaders and process owners who want a plain-language reference to keep close at hand.
Written by Colin Weemes, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and founder of Plemstall Consulting, drawing on real project experience rather than academic theory.
The guide is currently in production. If you would like to know more or be among the first to hear when it is ready, or if you are interested in Yellow Belt training get in touch here
