Training Within Industry

Leaders who can train, lead and improve the work.

TWI is the method built in the 1940s to train a workforce fast under real production pressure, and Toyota built on it. We teach it to your supervisors, leads and managers, in your facility or live online, and we stay long enough to see that it holds.

Why it still works

Built for the frontline in wartime. Still running on floors today.

The U.S. Department of War created Training Within Industry during World War II, when experienced workers were leaving for the front and plants had to train new people fast. It worked because it was practical, repeatable and written for the people actually running the work.

In the 1950s it went to Japanese industry and helped lay the groundwork for the Toyota Production System. Today the same four-step methods help organizations shorten ramp-up time, cut mistakes, keep good people and give supervisors a simple way to lead every day.
