Course Based on Training Within Industry (TWI)
TWI is an improvement process that addresses the essential skills needed by supervisors (anyone leading others). TWI’s rich history originated in the United States in the 1940s where the program was an resounding success, boosting industrial production beyond expectations:

• 86% of companies increased production by at least 25%
• 100% reduced training time by more than 25%
• 55% reduced scrap by at least 25%

TWI is experiencing a rebirth throughout industry. Lean enterprises are increasingly turning to TWI as a means to sustain improvements and achieve standard work. TWI has been successfully applied in hundreds of companies.
