JOB INSTRUCTION TRAINING (JI)
Teaches supervisors how to quickly train employees to do a job correctly, safely and conscientiously. TWI JI trains leaders on how to instruct. Teaching people new tasks is not a skill we are born with; only through practice can we master it. TWI JI uses a 4-step method for training that develops, in the leader, the skill of instructing. TWI JI can have an immediate impact on productivity by quickly capturing and training the team on the one best way of doing a job.
TWI JI has three critical components:
1. 4-Step JI Method of Instruction – Used to conduct the actual training of individuals
2. Job Breakdown – Used to collect the important steps, key points and reasons used in the 4-Step training method
3. Time Table for Training – Used to identify, prioritize and schedule the training necessary for productivity improvement.
TWI JI training consists of two 4 hour workshop sessions that present and practice the techniques of the 4-step method. The workshop sessions are followed up with 40 hours of on-site coaching to help your team develop the skills needed for successful plant wide implementation. Our TWI consultants will work closely with your team to integrate TWI JI into a pilot area.
