Load ‘em up (the shells)Light ‘em up (the fuses)Get Out of the WayOooh and Ahhh!!




Load ‘em up!1. Define your objectives and link to your key business needs / critical success factors

• JR: leadership training for shop floor associates; address “fairness” and turnover

• JI: train better and faster for new associates and setups; improve quality

• JM: engage associates; improve value-add per employee, safety, quality

2. Involve Managers• Observe training• Develop training plan

3. Develop measurements4. Build into performance appraisals



Light the Fuses

1. Start the training• Go for density

2. Coach Managers / Supervisors how to encourage (and not discourage)

• Carry and refer to the card• Look for ways to use it• Don’t accept when it should be

used and isn’t• If too late, describe how it could

have helped3. Post visual measures4. Broadcast early successes



Get Out of the Way

1. Let your Supervisors own it, but strongly support:

• Training plan• Visuals• Core concepts

2. Let TWI adapt to your environment• Supervisory training• JI breakdowns as a training tool• JI training delivery versus

breakdown development• JM breakdowns

3. Track who is using it – and who’s not



Oooh and Ahhhh!1. Encourage ongoing Training and learning• Read books & articles• Blogs, webcasts• Peer councils• Seminars and conferences• TWI Summit3. Celebrate4. Brag about your team!!!
