An operator retires, a temp worker arrives, a production line changes its pace, and knowledge is passed on however it can: through redundancy, by word of mouth, or using a procedure that no one has opened in two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost is clear: longer training periods, inconsistencies in quality from one position to another, and authorizations that no one can account for on the day of the audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the problem that Mercateam and <a href=\"https:\/\/twi-institut-france.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TWI Institute France<\/a>, operated by ISOKAN Formation, have decided to join forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The TWI Method in Three Minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training Within Industry is the gold standard for on-the-job training. It is based on three pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Job Instruction<\/strong> : Breaking down a task and teaching it correctly the first time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Job Methods<\/strong> : improving the way work is done<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Job Relations<\/strong> : Address human issues before they impact production<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tried and tested for decades and a cornerstone of lean initiatives, it remains the gold standard for manufacturers who want to ensure the reliability of their operators\u2019 training rather than simply endure it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the method alone isn't enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TWI answers a question: <strong>How is this work done, and how can it be taught without distorting it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mercateam replies to the other person: <strong>Who has been trained, who is authorized, who can share information, and where does each person stand?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taken separately, these two answers go nowhere. One <a href=\"https:\/\/merca.team\/en\/training-within-industry\/\">TWI approach<\/a> A well-run training program produces excellent training standards, which often end up in a binder or a shared folder, with no connection to the teams\u2019 actual skills. A skills management tool, on the other hand, can display an up-to-date matrix without guaranteeing the quality of what has been taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they complement each other: <strong>The method generates expertise; the platform provides it with a home and connects it to real-world skills on the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Mercateam, \" class=\"wp-image-10210\" style=\"width:267px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-900x900.webp 900w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-370x370.webp 370w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-45x45.webp 45w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-53x53.webp 53w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-70x70.webp 70w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-50x50.webp 50w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-450x450.webp 450w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-830x830.webp 830w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-360x360.webp 360w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2-88x88.webp 88w, https:\/\/merca.team\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mercateam-twi-partnership-2.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adrien Laurentin, CEO of Mercateam, and St\u00e9phane Roquet, representative of the TWI Institute in France and founder of Isokan Formation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-cf-bg-surface-color has-cf-violet-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/merca.team\/en\/demo\/\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>I'm booking my appointment<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00abThe manufacturers we work with know how to provide training.
