Steven Spear on TWI
Steven Spear, former TWI Summit presenter and author Chasing the Rabbit, Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System, and Learning to Lead at Toyota, had this to say about TWI…
“An essential ingredient in being competitive is having a reliable system for developing skills. This is where Training Within Industry comes in: Job Instruction training to bring novices up to speed, Job Methods training so they could be active agents in improving what they did and how they did it, and Job Relations training that teaches the foundations of positive employee relations.”
