Description
Training Within Industry: The Foundation of Lean This comprehensive guide explores a crucial piece of a Lean initiative that has been overlooked in US industry. Developed by the United States during World War II, the Training Within Industry (TWI) program standardizes training processes and assists front-line supervisors in teaching new operations to workers quickly and effectively. The book delves into the history and application of the four modules that compose TWI: Job Instruction, Job Methods, Job Relations, and Program Development. Readers will gain insight into how standardized work imparts measurable continuous improvement by setting a baseline for efficiency and innovation. A CD containing original TWI bulletins issued by the US government in the 1940s is also included. With its time-tested approach that has been used for over sixty years, this book provides a key to successfully implementing Lean Thinking and offers basic knowledge without any non-valued added material.
