Outcomes | Produce greater quantities of quality products in less time by making the best use of the manpower, machines, and materials now available. |
How do we do it?
Classroom Instruction
The TWI “4-Step Method” for the Job Methods program is introduced to show how supervisors can handle such problems more effectively to gain better results.
The first two sessions focus on learning the methods. The remaining course time is given to participant presentation of actual and current problems participants handle by applying the TWI 4-Step Method.
Unlike any other training, the TWI “learn by doing” methodology requires participants to put what they learned in class immediately to use in the workplace.
Follow Up Coaching
Post-training coaching is included for each learner to practice the methods in their own work areas with a coaching resource that can assure proper application and use of the method.
Coaching will taper off as the learner demonstrates capability to independently apply the method in daily practice.
Coaching is critical to sustainable implementation and assures lasting impact on the organization.
