TWI is the missing link to Kaizen. It is usually referred to as the root of Lean by the Lean practitioners. It was developed in the US in the early 1940s to boost industrial production needs. TWI had brought great success such as:
- 86% of companies increased production by at least 25%
- 55% reduced scrap by at least 25%
- 100% reduced training time by more than 25%
Training Within Industry (TWI) is the foundation for Kaizen, or Continuous Improvement. Toyota used TWI to train employees in the Toyota Production System, the world’s first Lean Manufacturing program. Still in widespread use today by Toyota and successful businesses throughout Japan.
Today many companies train workers in Lean Manufacturing principles without a framework for employees to apply what they learn. TWI provides that framework by leveraging the role of the supervisor to apply the principles of Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing on an on-going basis.
