TWI – The Foundation of Lean Thinking
Don Dinero
Round Pond Consulting
Abstract: TWI has been called the foundation of Lean Thinking because it trains people in the fundamental skills required in a Lean organization. TWI consists mainly of three “J” programs. Job Methods teaches one how to see and eliminate waste. Job Instruction teaches one how to transfer knowledge to another person and results in standardization of processes. Job Relations teaches how to deal with personnel situations in a non-emotional manner. These programs have been used successfully for over sixty years
Bio: Donald A. Dinero, PE, CPIM, the principal of Round Pond Consulting Services helps companies implement Lean principles and believes that the Lean movement is hindered by its omission of TWI training. TWI’s fundamental skills training helps to stabilize an organization, preparing it to seriously begin its Lean journey. Mr. Dinero is concentrating his efforts on spreading the word of TWI. He delivers both training and Train the Trainer in all three of the ‘J’ programs.
