Have
you ever seen a really great idea go nowhere?
You know, the kind of idea that everyone agrees
makes sense, an idea that everyone believes
should be implemented, an idea that will be a
great benefit to the company, etc. A lot of
excitement is generated around the idea,
substantial effort is put forward to implement
and use the idea, and it just seems like such a
no-brainer!
But a
year later, in spite of all the work and energy,
there are few tangible results. Ever seen
that?
Of
course, this scenario is so common that most of
us have had direct experience with it. What
went wrong? And more importantly, how do you
prevent such an outcome?
Answers to these questions are vitally important
to anyone who is implementing Training Within
Industry. Even in the 1940s when the need was
so urgent, the TWI Service struggled with the
same issues. In fact, as they learned from
experience in the field that the program could
fail to produce results, they took preventive
action by establishing a formal policy for the
continuing application of TWI programs.
This
presentation details the advice and guidance of
the original TWI Service on how to follow
through and get results from the initial, basic
training in Job Instruction, Job Relations and
Job Methods. It also establishes the
relationship of this approach with the
contemporary concepts of PDCA and Daily Work
Routine Management as a framework within which
TWI is not “just another tool.”
