Read Marcus Overview

The Training Within Industry (TWI) program is a workplace training program that was developed in the United States during World War II to help rapidly train workers for new jobs in manufacturing industries. Today, the TWI program is still used by organizations worldwide to improve the skills of their workforce and increase productivity.

There are three main components of the TWI program: Job Instruction (JI), Job Methods (JM), and Job Relations (JR).

•  Job Instruction (JI) is a method for training employees on how to perform their jobs effectively and efficiently. It involves breaking down a job into smaller steps and teaching employees how to perform each step correctly. JI focuses on four key steps: Preparation, Presenting the Operation, Trying Out Performance, and Follow-up.

•  Job Methods (JM) is a problem-solving method that helps employees to identify and eliminate waste in their work processes. JM involves analyzing the current work process, breaking it down into smaller steps, and then developing a new, more efficient process.

•  Job Relations (JR) is a method for improving workplace relationships and reducing conflict. JR focuses on three key skills: understanding the needs of others, expressing oneself clearly, and solving problems collaboratively. By developing these skills, employees are better able to work together as a team, which can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction.

Overall, the TWI program is designed to help organizations develop a more skilled and efficient workforce by providing employees with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to perform their jobs effectively.

This TWI Frameworks is a collection of TWI diagrams, pocket cards and templates for Job Instruction (JI), Job Methods (JM), Job Relations (JR), Job Safety (JS) and Problem Solving (PS).

These tools and templates are useful for organizations who are preparing or implementing TWI programs. To get the most out of the tools and templates, they are best used together with the TWI four-step process.
