Training Within Industry: Bulletin Series

Training Within Industry is the structural genesis of Lean Manufacturing and the heart of Kaizen, the practice of small continuous improvements. From the Toyota Production System to the standardization of training retail sales clerks, Training Within Industry proves that true innovation is timeless. The bulletins contained in this 8 1/2″ x 11″, 175 page Training Within Industry book have evolved far beyond their intent of assisting defense contractors meet production demands.

This book is based on the simple premise that in order to function there has to be an organizational structure recognizing that initial and on-going training is an investment that will always pay for itself, and that the employees of that organization have to know that their input is necessary, expected, and integral to success. Within this book you will discover how to:

• Strengthen the Managerial Organization
• Select Supervisors and keep them informed of their responsibilities
• Prepare and train instructors on how to train new associates
• How to get continuous results

From new employees to new supervisors, the T.W.I. Bulletin Series is packed with ideas, concepts, and methods that will produce results. The standardization of processes and of training methods, the integration of production line employees into setting standards, and the recognition that training is never finished are all hallmarks of T.W.I. that would later find themselves as hallmarks of the Toyota Production System.

Truly one of the foundational books to the Toyota Production System
