(TWI Institute: Liverpool, NY) -- Training within industry is needed more now, in this down economy, than ever before. It was in a time of crisis that the Training Within Industry (TWI) Service proved its worth more than 60 years ago. Today, leading organizations are turning to training within industry again and the TWI Institute is heeding the call. Join them at the 2010 TWI Summit, May 11–12, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Green Valley Ranch Resort.

Rediscover using standardized methods of work allowing managers to understand what is happening on the shop floor. Create those standards by first breaking the job down. Develop the problem solving skills of people. The result is the confident people side of lean.

Why are organizations turning to TWI?

Get more done with less machines and manpower
Improve quality, reduce scrap by achieving standard work across workers and shifts
Reduce safety incidents
Decrease training time, especially for temporary workers
Reduce labor hours
Reduce grievances
Transfer knowledge from a skilled, retiring work force to an unskilled, green work force
