TWI - Job Instruction
TWI Is the Missing Link in Your Lean Training Journey:

Learn how to achieve standard work, sustain the gains made by Lean, increase productivity, improve morale, and reduce training time. This event focuses on the Job Instruction portion of TWI.

Participants learn how to quickly train employees to do the job correctly, safely, and conscientiously. The demands of developing a flexible workforce and training employees require standardized best practices. JI teaches how to effectively breakdown a job and deliver instruction for individual tasks. Developing and delivering training in this structured fashion fosters the conditions for process stability. Program attendees are taught how to set the stage for instruction, effectively demonstrate the task, observe and coach the trainee and gradually taper off coaching with proper follow-up.

JI Benefits: reduced training time, less scrap and rework, fewer accidents, and increased job satisfaction.
