What is TWI or Training Within Industry?
WWII. 

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.

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.

Tried and True, TWI works.

Since World War II, TWI Proves That It Works

Training Within Industry has shown that it works in helping businesses grow and be more productive. TWI helps to simply and minimize processes that are complicated, costly and hard to understand. One example of success by implementing TWI is listed below:

In the early 1940s a company that was equipped with the proper tools needed to manufacture lenses would have to wait nearly five years as that is how much time it took for an average person to learn and master the art and sciences behind making lenses. However, by implementing Training Within Industries' methods, that lengthy number of years was reduced to around 4-6 months from start to finish.  As this company kept using the common sense methods which simplified and organized the way it trained its staff, the training time eventually decreased to six weeks. From five years to six weeks! That's definitely a huge improvement and shows that TWI works.

So how did this happen? There were no changes made in equipment, the companies, or even the employees. The workforce even remained the same. The only major change was the way the companies trained (or re-trained for that matter) their employees. Training Within industry and TWI Solutions can do for your business what it did for lens makers and countless other companies in nearly every industry. TWI had a monumental effect on changing the way organizations in the United States trained their employees. And it still does so today.

TWI took the 5 year time requirement and threw it out the window to set a new standard for productivity. 

Just like it has done for so many other businesses, the program can transform your business into what it should be. Through hands-on training and concentrated classroom instruction by Certified TWI Trainers and Instructors, your supervisors and managers will be equipped with all the tools needed. 

Your company's supervisors, managers, leaders, trainers and employees will acquire the ability of critical thinking. They will also develop a sense of accountability to raise the bar of previous job performance standards. They will want to do the best job for the company as they will have a sense of pride and individual accountability. When employees possess this, they care about the company and they want to work as a team in order to gain success. They see the whole picture of the business's goals and they feel appreciated and valued. 

This is only a small facet of the positive changes that implementing TWI will bring. These are cost effective and long lasting changes that will prove to be the best thing you've ever done to try improve your business.
