Join us for a remarkable learning experience at AME Cleveland 2023!
About the workshop
TWI – JI is a great instruction tool that breaks down work activities and creates a standard method for instructing, especially when the process variability is high. This workshop aims to explore the use of the TWI job instruction to overcome the Kata “Domino” Challenge and how to use trial run testing of job instruction breakdowns as a PDSA experiment to develop the standard methods of success with the Kata Domino challenge.
After using the 4 planning steps to improve Kata and understanding the challenge, current condition, establishing target condition, and obstacles, the team-wise variations in work methods will be examined. Lastly, after completing PDSA steps toward the target conditioning using TWI job instruction, the best method for division of labor and stacking will be created.
