TWI TRAINING PROGRAMS
(JI.JM.JR)
Reinforce standard work, simplify work processes and strengthen labor-management relations.
Description
Looking for a supervisor training program that can significantly boost your company's productivity and quality? Look no further than Training Within Industry (TWI), which has a long track record of success. In fact, some experts believe that TWI may be the most successful supervisor training program ever developed.
The three TWI programs - Job Instruction (JI), Job Relations (JR) and Job Methods (JM) - were created by some of the best training and management experts in the United States. They were thoroughly tested before being released, and they have been widely adopted by companies around the world.
TWI has become an integral part of Lean, helping to reinforce the practice of standard work, simplify work processes, and strengthen labor-management relationships. Companies that have implemented TWI have reported impressive improvements, such as increased production, reduced training time, reduced scrap, and reduced labor-hours. In fact, some have reported improvements of 25% or more.
Investing in TWI training for your supervisors can help your company achieve significant gains in productivity and quality, and make a lasting impact on your bottom line.
