IMPORTANT: Lean Six Sigma Yellow-Belt Certification Training

Flores/Fifth Ward Team,

The City of Houston began a journey of continuous improvement by creating a Lean Six Sigma program to train employees and improve City performance. Lean Six Sigma is a customer-focused way of thinking problem-seeking that seeks to continually identify and eliminate waste. It is a process improvement program that is designed to deliver high quality goods or service as efficiently  as possible.

Recently, the Learning and Development Center (formerly the E. B. Cape Center) developed a web-based training for Lean Six Sigma Yellow-Belt Certification. It is an hour-long online training program that can be conveniently done locally at your individual work location. To keep in line with the City of Houston's Lean Six Sigma initiative, we are asking that all HPL employees complete this web-based training.

Please register for this training via the TMS. The course number is 00022086. Staff may also conduct a simple search by typing "lean six sigma" in the Catalog Search Box. Upon completion of this web-based training, staff will receive 1-hour of training credit. There is no need to submit a certificate of completion as we receive TMS reports monthly.

This training is mandatory for staff at all levels, so please be sure to register for and complete this training. All staff are expected to complete the training DECEMBER 1st, 2015.

If you have any questions please contact Suzy Benton at suzy.benton@houstontx.gov or 832-393-1505.


Thank you,

Virginia Williams
