Three Steps of Job Instruction / by Charles Mabra

Breaking Job Instructions in Three Main Steps 

There are three essential things in a business that ensures the work flows smoothly.  Learning about these three steps keeps things simple and easy to teach and learn. The three things are cost, quality, and production. It's important to make a product of good quality, on time, and within the budget. Falling behind on any of these things could make the difference between failure and success. It's the manager or supervisors job to handle every single detail each minute of the work day. Sometimes things go wrong but this doesn't mean the supervisor is irresponsible. Sometimes there are problems or things just don't work out. However, it's essential for supervisors to have the knowledge and skills to be able to fix and anticipate problems. Most managers face problems such as:

Broken equipment

The product is low quality

Accidents in the work place

Uninterested employees

Training takes too long

Machinery breaks down

Employees don't follow instructions

Supervisors regularly face struggles such as these. These challenges are never planned. However, they must be dealt with. The one responsible for taking care of them are the supervisors. TWI helps train managers and supervisors to be able to do what's needed to fix these complications or to even prevent them from occurring in the first place.
