Each of us has to make a lot of decisions and take on new challenges at work every day. Some of them can be attributed to most organisations, and the sooner you manage to eliminate the root causes of the persisting issues, the quicker your company will gain a competitive edge. 

Are there any cases in your organization when:

  • The employees do not follow specifications?
  • There is an excessive amount of spoilage and errors?
  • The equipment breaks down or the tools get damaged often?
  • The work has to be stopped or postponed?
  • The work equipment is not used safely or accidents occur?
  • The employees are not engaged or disinterested?
  • It takes a long time until the employees become experts in their fields?

Many companies are looking for answers to similar issues, whereas the TWI (Training Within Industry) practical training program has served the purpose of solving those persisting issues professionally for many of the world’s most successful companies.
TWI is closely connected to the philosophy of Lean Management, whose main objectives are to effectively identify and eliminate any kind of waste within a work process and achieve the best performance at minimal cost. TWI methods are used by Toyota Motor Corporation and many other successful industry-leading companies in the world. The purpose of TWI is to help managers acquire useful managerial and leadership skills.

The results of the application of TWI methods indicate that

86% of the companies have increased their efficiency by at least 25%
100% of the companies have reduced training time by 25% or more
88% of the companies have reduced execution time of their orders by more than 25%.
55% of the companies have reduced their spoilage amount by at least 25%.
100% of the companies have reduced the number of complaints by more than 25%.

TWI consists of several programs:

Job Instruction training

Job Instruction training

(JI)

This is an efficient method to instruct employees on how to perform a job safely and accurately. The method trains on how to distribute work correctly and formulate individual tasks for each employee. Participants learn to prepare training programs, assign tasks effectively, monitor progress of new employees and train them efficiently.

Benefits

Reduced training time, more effective utilization of production materials, less scrap and rework, fewer accidents, and increased job satisfaction.

Job Relations training

Job Relations training

(JR)

Job relations are based on building positive employee relations, increasing cooperation and motivation, and effectively resolving conflicts. Developing and maintaining positive employee relationships prevents problems from arising and is paramount to strong employee loyalty and great culture of cooperation. When problems do arise, Job Relations training teaches teams a proven method of relying on the facts first and, only after an objective assessment, come to conclusions, plan to take actions, and check their implementation results.

Benefits

Increased productivity, improved attendance, more effective use of time at work, better morale, and higher employee retention rates.

Job Methods training

Job Methods training

(JM)

Job Methods training allows managers to gain knowledge on improvement of work processes. The aim of this program is to train employees on how to produce greater quantities of quality products in less time by making the best use of people, machines, and materials available. Participants are taught how to plan jobs depending on different manufacturing operations. Every detail of such plan is questioned in a systematic manner and discussed in detail in order to constantly generate ideas for improvement. New job methods are developed by eliminating unnecessary steps and combining, rearranging or simplifying any beneficial steps in the process.

Benefits

Reduced production costs, higher productivity gains due to increased throughput and reduced work in process.
