Lean Six Sigma Belts
Yellow Belts
Employees who possess basic knowledge of Lean Six Sigma and have completed an introductory training in the methodology.
Orange Belts
Employees who encounter Lean Six Sigma in their work and need knowledge about the tools and techniques used.

Green Belts are trained in this, where the most commonly used tools are explained and practiced within the DMAIC basics.
