Welcome!
It's likely you haven't heard of the newest wrinkle to so-called Lean Manufacturing or continuous improvement strategies. Before learning more about TWI, please prepare yourself to think in a radically different way about CI, yet realize you are coming back around to the basics of good management and leadership skills.
This new wrinkle is older than many of us working in today's manufacturing plants, indeed, is older than most manufacturing companies today and even has roots in the early days of U.S. industry. The most startling discovery of the program is how its core philosophy has a heavy influence in the evolution of Japanese supervisor and management techniques during the post-war occupation period.
If you think there is something missing in your lean transformation, there probably is, and it that something is probably TWI thinking. TWI gets at the heart of transforming the culture of your organization, regardless of industry; manufacturing, healthcare, construction - anywhere a person does a job.
If you want your leadership with the right lean job skills: thinking about and improving safety, quality, cost, delivery and productivity of your products or services in the workplace, than TWI may be part of the answer. This is the premier source for Training Within Industry content, which puts the powerful tools of "the most under-rated achievement of the 20th century" into the hands of every person, every where.
