TWI Institute’s advice and training opened our eyes to the fundamentals we needed to achieve our improvement goals. Without these fundamentals, there would be no improvement.

The (Isao) Kato training encouraged me to reflect and think deeply about the how and why of standardized work. I really appreciate how the training took a broad subject and boiled it down to the key points which provided clarity in my thinking. It showed me that every high-level objective depends upon how each team member on the front lines performs her/his work.
