Training Within Industry

Winner of a Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing Research The Training Within Industry (TWI) program, developed by the US during World War II, has been used by Toyota for decades. Winner of a 2006 Shingo Prize for Excellent in Manufacturing Research, this book elucidates the history and application of the four modules that comprise TWI. This powerful programme standardises training processes and assists front-line supervisors in teaching new operations to workers quickly and efficiency. Dinero explores The history and application of the four modules: Job instruction in which employees are trained to perform their tasks as quickly as they are capable with minimal waste; Job methods in which employees are taught how to improve their processes using existing resources; Job relations in which personnel problems are solved in an analytical, non-emotional manner so that employees are focused on a stated objective; and Programme development in which robust training plans are developed to meet the particular needs of a specific plant. Readers of Training Within Industry Will see that standardised work imparts measurable continuous improvement because it sets a baseline. It establishes A framework for efficiency and innovation. CD ROM content is now a downloadable resource available at www.routledge.com/9781563273070.
