SUMMARY:Standardized Job Instruction - The Training Within Industry Way
DESCRIPTION:EVENT IS FULL \nImage Credit: MRC \nPoor training causes problems! Many companies struggle with training that is inconsistent or ineffective. This results in slower production times\, increased scrap\, lower quality\, even decreased employee retention. \nLuckily\, Training Within Industry (TWI) Job Instruction (JI) is back! TWI JI originated in the U.S. in the 1940s to support the WW2 effort by boosting manufacturing production. It quickly and effectively trained employees\, including many entering the workforce for the first time. TWI was an unqualified success: \n\n86% of companies increased production by 25%!\n100% reduced training time by more than 25%!\n55% reduced scrap by at least $25%!\n100% reduced grievances by more than 25%!\n\nAfter the war\, the U.S. introduced TWI to Japan and it became one of the critical building blocks of the Toyota Production System\, the model for Lean Manufacturing. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you will see demonstrations of ineffective job instruction followed by a demonstration of effective instruction using the TWI JI 4 step training delivery model. You will learn the importance of preparation for training and the key role of the Job Breakdown sheet.  You will learn how to do a job breakdown and then use it while practicing the 4 step Job Instruction method. \nCourse Outline:\nEffective Instruction \n\nDemonstration of Faulty Instruction\nDemonstration of Correct Instruction\nFour Steps for Instruction\n\nPreparing for Instruction \n\n4 steps to prepare for Instruction\nIntroduction of the Job Breakdown Sheet\nPractice Preparing Job Breakdowns\n\nJob Instruction Skill Development \n\nUsing the Job Breakdown sheet to deliver instruction using the TWI 4 step Job Instruction Method\n\nInstruction provided by IMC Business Advisor Dana Gordon. Having received certification from the Training Within Industry (TWI) institute for Job Instruction (JI)\, Dana is engaging with manufacturers across all industries to develop effective training strategies. \nThis training may qualify for WEDnetPA funding with the full registration fee reimbursable for qualified participants. \n

It provides a proven path for leading your company to a healthy safety culture. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn 3 keys to bringing change and improvement\nDiscover the links between culture\, behavior\, and reinforcement\nGet a practical road map for how to go from minimum compliance – to employee commitment\n\nCourse Outline: \n\nLeadership drives culture\, culture drives behavior\nLeader’s roles\nThe links between culture\, behavior\, and results\nThree Keys to going from compliance to commitment\nPositive vs. Negative reinforcement\nChecksheets\nTell me how you measure me\, and I’ll tell you how I’ll perform\nBeyond the written programs\nA point person\nSafety committee\nNew worker orientation\nTraining\nToolbox talks\nResponders\nClosing discussion and Q&A\n\nDon’t wait until something bad happens to ramp up your safety program.
