For this week’s episode of the Continuous Improvement Journey podcast, we will be talking about how the methodology of Training Within Industry was created during the 1940s as part of the World War II production effectiveness effort.
One of the great outcomes of Training Within Industry was it drastically cut down the time required for new workers to reach a certain competency level from the usual 6-12 months to less than 1 month.
There are three main parts to the original Training Within Industry methodology. The first is Job Instruction which is effectively training employees on the job using the EDGE Method of explaining, demonstrating, guiding, and enabling.
Second is Job Relations which is about effectively leading people and is great for manager and supervisor training.
Third is Job Methods which is focused around Methods for formalizing Continuous Improvement.
My hope is that this series of the 13 laws of system optimization will help give us a larger and all-encompassing perspective to help take us to the next level from our traditional lean manufacturing training.
