JI and JR at HEB: The power of their rollout that led to rapid results

Session Abstract


The presentation will demonstrate how to take TWI (JI/JR) from a theoretical application to a practical implementation.  Mike will share his partnership with HEB; how he led them to incorporate TWI into their companies strategy; how they were able to get top management support which was critical to their success; and the incredibly effective approach they used to select departments that would ultimately own the process.   Lastly, they will share the train the trainer process that led to substantial business results.

The TWI-JI method of training has since expanded to other teams and locations outside the pilot area with great success, leveraging the work that was done in the pilot area.  Aera now has four internal master trainers and has trained 91 employees in the JI process, many of whom are using it on a frequent basis to train new hires as well as experienced employees.
