Overview
The TWI Problem Solving (TWI PS) course employs the three TWI methodologies for the purpose of solving problems. Companies that already utilize one or more of the TWI skills can leverage these supervisory abilities and gain even more value from them. This course gives renewed meaning to the TWI methods with a focused emphasis on problem solving. Moreover, TWI PS offers a valuable opportunity to refresh, review, and reinvigorate the application of these powerful skills within the workplace.
Most companies aspire for their front-line supervisors to be self-sufficient and capable of solving the problems they encounter, rather than waiting for someone else to address them.
The TWI Problem Solving program serves to consolidate and integrate the proven TWI methodologies of Job Instruction (JI), Job Relations (JR), and Job Methods (JM) under one cohesive plan for this purpose. By reflecting on the progress of Japanese industry since the introduction of these TWI programs, we can appreciate the significant contribution that Mellon and his group made, which has led to the establishment of today’s Gold Standard of manufacturing excellence – the Toyota Production System.
