Training Within Industry (TWI)

Overview

Instruction on Training within Industry (TWI) will provide essential skills for supervisors and team leaders to be more effective through Job Methods (JM), Job Instruction (JI), and Job Relations (JR). JM teaches supervisors how to continuously improve the way jobs are done, JI teaches supervisors how to quickly train employees to do a job correctly, safely, and conscientiously, and JR teaches supervisors how to evaluate and take proper actions to handle and to prevent people problems. TWI was used during WWII to help quickly train the millions of people who flooded into the industrial work force for the first time.

As manufacturing businesses in the Philadelphia region grow and bring on new talent from a diminishing pool of available candidates, it is imperative to ensure new hires are brought up to speed as quickly as possible. This is possible with a structured, proven means of instructing that will prevent you from losing money and productivity. DVIRC’s TWI workshop gives you an understanding of the training tools available to prevent these losses. From here, attendees can move on to more in-depth instruction to put improvement plans into practice.
