What Are Our Clients Saying About TWI Training Solutions?

"The TWI method of training just makes sense. It’s as simple as that. How often do you train a person to do a job and know, without a doubt, they understand the steps to getting the job done, the key points that will make or break the job, and the reason why the job is done the way it is, the first time you walk away? 

In my experience it hasn’t happened very often, but then I learned the TWI method. When the TWI method of training is used, you walk away confident the job is going to be done right, knowing the individual you trained, completely understands it. '' - Sonia Parham

"TWI Training Solutions" is so common sense that it makes extreme sense. How often do we complicate things by forgetting the basic common sense stuff? This program and the things taught by certified instructors can - and should be used- in all areas of life, not only in business. It would save a lot of time, issues, money and problems from lack of communication." - Geoff B.

Training Within Industries' three main services: Job Instruction, Job Relations, and Job Methods Improvement come from the "Five Needs Model for Good Supervisors" that was developed during World War II. This defined the main things that must be fulfilled before any boss or manager can accomplish their responsibilities and job successfully. The Five Needs are:

• Knowledge of Work
• Knowledge of Responsibilities
• Skill in Instructing
• Skill in Improving Methods
• Skill in Leading 

The first two needs deal with knowledge and the last three focus on skill. Gaining knowledge must be joined with gaining skill, which is only acquired through practice. The Five Needs were experimented and tested in real industries during production while the war was happening. Because they were actually put in place during a very rough time, the "practicing" was actually real life DOING. The skills were put in place through action and have proven decade after decade and so by using the Training Within Industry methods, supervisors and managers can effectively and consistently teach the three J's.

What is TWI?

What is TWI or Training Within Industry?

During World War II, changes had to be made to meet all the needs and demands. Production was increasing and emergency groups were formed by the government which 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. TWI's goal was to find out what they could do to make people more useful and productive. The staff and leaders soon came up with the three "J" programs which make up Training Within Industry's methods:

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 training time and only required a minimum number of qualified trainers. TWI's service played an essential war in helping the war effort. 

Training Within Industry is even 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 quality, cost, and production problems such as:
Too much affliction on equipment and tools
Machines malfunctioning
Accidents within the business
Employees inattentive
The product quality isn't up to par
Deadlines aren't met

Problems such as these aren't ever expected, however they can't be ignored. It's important for employees and supervisors to take responsibility and be trained well enough to come up with solutions that will be effective. To learn more about the three J's and TWI, contact us and we'll tell you more.
