Three Steps of Job Instruction

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. 

TWI Training Solutions is the Teachers of Teachers

TWI helps teach how to get ready to instruct. Yes, teachers must be instructed on how to teach. Those who train need instructions on how to train others so that they can easily learn and retain the necessary info in order to get the job done right.

To instruct a job, it's necessary to know four things:

Break down the job

Prepare everything

Making a training timetable

Get the workplace ready

To break down a job, make a list with detailed steps of the job and list the main points in each of those steps. It's important to go through the task in your mind so that you're sure that you are teaching other employees correctly. 

Preparing everything means you have all the right tools, equipment, materials, tools, and supplies needed to complete the job. Using the wrong tools, hodgepodge materials, or forget something, sets a low standard for the person (or people) completing the task. Also, you risk undermining the authority as a supervisor. 

Your job as a supervisor or manager is to teach and train others. You want them to learn how to perform their jobs and responsibilities correctly. From the start is the best way to learn how to get something completed. In order to do this, you as the instructor or teacher, must do the best job possible in order to train. With the help of TWI, the Teachers of Teachers, we can help you and your business prepare to instruct and to train in the most common sense effective way.

Fundamentals of the TWI Program

What are the fundamentals of the long-standing, successful TWI Program? What are the most important things that make TWI the key to developing and carrying out standardized work? Companies such as Toyota use TWI's services because the historically proven methods work yet why do they work? What are the fundamentals behind this successful training program and solutions?

Here are some fundamentals of the TWI Program that withstand the test of time and can be applied to all businesses in any industry:

• Decide which responsibilities and jobs belong to which employees
• Set goals 
• Encourage communication skills
• Make sure the basic skills are in place for employees to carry out jobs

These are the top four fundamentals that make businesses grow and succeed when implementing TWI Training Solutions. Toyota refers to this list as "The Four Rules" and consider them the "DNA" of the company's production. To this day, the famous auto makers still implement TWI. 

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.
