Train employees to quickly remember how to do a job correctly, safely and conscientiously.
Outcome: Participants (maximum 10 per group) will be able to plan skill based training for their department (driven by production and people needs), prepare training documents, and train a learner via the JI 4-step method.

Purpose and Emphasis of Each Session

SessionObjectiveEmphasis
1Make sure that it is clear that supervisors are responsible for manufacturing good quality products at the required cost.
Introduce the 4-step method to get workers to quickly remember how to do each job correctly, safely and conscientiously.
Supervisors are responsible for training the workers in their own departments.
Telling alone or showing alone is not a good instruction method. There is a sure and dependable method that works every time if it is applied.
2Through demonstration of a job by a participant and its observation by others, emphasise that ‘Job Instruction Breakdowns’ are always needed as a basis for good instruction.
Explain how to make a breakdown and have the participants practice it.
Job Instruction Breakdowns are effective for dividing the job into steps and emphasizing the key points. Supervisors must prepare tools and materials and organise the work site when instructing.
3Explain and illustrate how to make a training timetable.
Two participants do their practice demonstration instruction. All compare their methods to the one on the card; all participants practice how to apply the 4-step method and the ‘How to Get Ready’ points.
The basis of good instruction is to make a training timetable and Job Instruction Breakdowns.
When having the learner try out the job, we need to make sure that he/she has completely learned it.
4Have trainees examine their department’s training timetable.
Four participants do their practice demonstration instruction and practice the 4-step method and the ‘How to Get Ready’ points.
Emphasise special instruction methods: time consuming operations (complex work), a noisy worksite, or how to convey a point of feel or knack.
Through the training timetable, we can systematically make a training plan.
High calibre instruction is always required in order to do a precision job or to work under difficult conditions.
5Three participants do their practice demonstration instruction and practice the 4-step method and the ‘How to Get Ready’ points.
Emphasise that high production is the fruit of good instruction.
Skill in instructing is one of the most important tools supervisors must have.
Supervisors also have to make constant efforts to maintain a good working environment in which workers can easily do their jobs with confidence.
This kind of skill is useful for supervisors to prevent production problems from arising from ‘don’t know/can’t do’ and to solve them if they do arise
