Session Title

Beyond the Ten Hours – Implementation and Sustainment of the TWI Programs

Session Abstract

 
The ten hours of training of every TWI “J” Program are not enough to implement and embed them into your organization.  In fact, they are not sufficient to even get employees to use them well.  That in itself takes practice over time.  At first glance these programs seem beneficial and something that you should be doing, and as such you may consider them similar to other required parts of an over all Lean initiative.  The TWI “J” Programs, however, are foundational in that they will change the culture of your organization.  In order for that to happen, a commitment must be made and kept because without it, the ten hours of training will be a waste.  Companies have engaged an outside trainer, received the ten hours of training for some employees and then found that “the TWI programs don’t work here” and so they fall into disuse. The TWI “J” Programs will work in ANY organization, but a commitment must be made.  Learn what is required to successfully implement these simple but powerful Programs and the Ten Points required to sustain them.  The effort put forward today will pay itself back tenfold in the future.

Presenter Biography


As an Institute Conductor for the Training Within Industry Programs, Donald Dinero both delivers the TWI “J” Programs and develops others to do the same, engaging the multiplier effect used when the Programs were initiated.  His execution is consistently successful because he knows that the 10-hours of training is not sufficient to enable an organization to use these Programs.  He thus includes the development of coaches and an implementation plan for each of his clients.  In addition to over forty years of manufacturing experience, he has a BS in Mechanical Engineering, an MBA, an MS in Career and Human Resource Development, a Certification in Production and Inventory Management from APICS, and is a licensed engineer in New York State.  His book Training Within Industry – The Foundation of Lean won a Shingo Prize in 2006.
