Hi,

Thanks for bringing the TWI light to your readers. A lot has happened since 2006. I have created a TWI blog and an updated website with TWI archive materials. Members of SME #204 have been using this for at least three years now in our respective companies and having lots of fun and making progress on what now feels like a “real” lean journey!:)

If you’ll forgive me for blowing our own horn, I’d like to mention that here at Productivity Press, we have published two relevant books within the past year:
Training Within Industry: The Foundation of Lean, by Donald Dinero, which won the 2006 Shingo Research prize,
and more recently,
The TWI Workbook: Essential Skills for Supervisors, by Patrick Graupp and Robert Wrona. Both can be found on our Web site.

I had never heard of TWI, but it seems to me the potential for positive is HUGE. As an educational system it appears to treat both people and task respectfully.

Thanks for your thought-provoking posts.

This is bizarre - I just finished editing an article on TWI by Jim Huntzinger, Patrick Graupp and Bob Wrona when Kathleen sent me an e-mail titled TWI. The article had a lot of good stuff I think I will have to cut in order to get it down to size for “Lean Directions.” I’m sure Jim would be happy to share info with anyone: jim@leanaccountingsummit.com

There was a definite murmur about TWI at the Shingo Prize conference. It seems to have escalated to a buzz, and I don’t know what comes after that.

Kathleen, thanks for joining SME. I’ll forward this TWI post to Jim.
