During World War II, production was increasing and emergency groups were formed by the government and this is how Training Within Industry was created. TWI called for a whole new purpose of the people and the way they were trained in industry. It was formed by some of the best of the best people in order to jump start businesses and make them operate and grow in the most efficient and effective way. The programs three main components consist of these essential training areas:

Job Relations Training (JR)

Job Instruction Training (JI)

Job Methods Training (JM)

People in an industry were trained by TWI and then would, in turn, train other people. This reduced the instruction time and only required a minimum number of qualified trainers. TWI's service played an essential war in helping the war effort. The historically successful program is still being used to help businesses today to teach employees valuable lessons without wasting time by breaking down jobs and helping people master their work.

Many managers and supervisors struggle with production, cost and quality problems such as:.

Too much affliction on equipment and tools
Machines malfunctioning
Accidents within the business
Employees inattentiveness and not paying attention
The product quality isn't up to par
Deadlines aren't being met

Problems such as these aren't ever expected; however, they can't be ignored. It's important for supervisors and employees to take responsibility and be trained well enough to come up with solutions that will be effective.
