[Training Within Industry Program] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov] MORE PRODUCTION THROUGH SKILLED SUPERVISION THE TRAINING WITHIN INDUSTRY PROGRAM TRAINING WITHIN INDUSTRY SERVICE Headquarters: Room 840, 1778 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington 25, D. C. T. W. I. PROGRAM AND POLICY The Training Within Industry Program was established in. August 1940 by the National Defense Advisory Commission and was continued under the Office of Production Management and then the War Production Board. By Presidential order on April 18, 1942, Training Within Industry functions were made part of the War Manpower Commission. T. W. I. operates as part of the Bureau of Training. Management is interested primarily in getting out increased and improved production. Supervision and training are sometimes regarded as separate functions, but they are actually concurrent with management. T. W. I. attempts to get this viewpoint accepted, and T. W. I. work deals exclusively with what management itself can do to train its supervisors. T. W. I. Advocates It is recommended that all war production plants give balanced and appropriate attention to the following phases of in-plant training: 1. UPGRADING of all classes of personnel as their experience and abilities warrant, through planned job progression, job rotation, and intensive supplementary instruction both on. and off the job. Each plant should take stock of the talent and experience of its own personnel before employing new men and women. 2. Development of PRODUCTION SPECIALISTS through intensive instruction on the job in basic operations. 3. Development of all-round SKILLED MECHANICS through trade apprenticeship, in accordance with Federal standards, separate from production worker training, for the purpose of developing a predetermined, limited number of all-round journeyman mechanics. 4. Development of SUPERVISORS through careful selection, assignment of supervisory duties of increasing responsibility, and provision for related organized help through discussions and conferences, under both plant and outside auspices, dealing with methods of instruction, methods of developing better ways of doing a job, methods of improving working relationships, and knowledge of responsibilities. T. W. I. Conducts The Training Within Industry Service conducts intensive programs for newly appointed and experienced supervisors and those responsible for in-plant training. There is no authority to enter a plant on any basis other than with management’s cooperation. The programs for supervisors require 10 hours, and for training directors 40 hours. Job Instruction gives the supervisor practice in how to “break in” men on new jobs. Job Methods shows the supervisor how to simplify and improve methods of doing a job. Job Relations gives the supervisor practice in how to promote teamwork. Program Development shows training men how they can develop their own in-plant programs by giving them intensified coaching in a method of planning, operating, and improving plant-wide training programs. Organisation The Training Within Industry Service has a field force with offices in 22 districts throughout the United States, as listed in this bulletin. They are staffed by training and personnel specialists, many of whom are loaned by their companies for part-time or full-time work. Headquarters and field offices have advisers from both management and labor. 3 E I E I n ADPAkllTATIAkl ln adtlition t0 names shown, each district staff in- I L, L U U II U H11 I £ H I I U 11 eludes ten or more panel consultants who are not listed DISTRICT Office Address In Charge 1 Northern New England ★Harry H.
