TWI JI ensures that the trainees quickly remember exactly how to do their jobs efficiently, safely, conscientiously, and above all to do it correctly every time. JI will help to stabilize processes and to implement and sustain standardized work.
Through the standardized TWI Job Instruction training program, you will learn how to deliver effective on-the-job training that ensures people reliably perform every task exactly the way it should be done to get consistently good results. Participants will learn this four-step method using a part or process they bring to the class. They will walk away with a complete Job Instruction breakdown sheet for the part/process of their choice.
