Abstract
Training within industry (TWI) is a method which was developed under world war II. It was the result of a need to quickly mobilize and train a workforce to provide value to industry and thereby society. The method works with four Supervisory Skill Development Modules to ease delivery and ensure results. With any project or program a manager has a variety of needs and TWI recognizes this as well and has developed a list of five needs which encapsulates the need for anyone whose work depend on results from other people – from the first line managers to the executive management controlling a wide portfolio. Another key principle behind the method is the multiplier principle, which certified over 1.7 million supervisors and trainers throughout the United States in its brief five-year existence. The method also includes a number of specific tools from which the strategy of the method can be implemented as intended. Despite the historic origins of the method, TWI is still relevant today and is applied in a variety of industries at different levels. The continuing application of lean practices has also increased the relevancy of the method.
Motivation
Before we dive into the specifics of TWI, let us consider some of the benefits
Today it is hard to not encounter lean practices when studying any company out there.
Origin and history
The Training within industry (TWI) is a method which originates from world war II. The main objective behind the method was to help facilitate the many projects and programs which industries in the USA were facing as result of an overall increased demand and a workforce that was changing quickly.
