PPG centres on developing people and organisations
PPG Industries’ automotive refinish business in the US has announced that its new MVP training courses centered on developing people and organisations in collision repair have earned accreditation from I-CAR and the Automotive Management Institute (AMI). According to PPG, the set of three interrelated MVP courses – Job Relations, Job Instruction and Job Methods – are designed to develop the skills of managers and team leaders in their effort to build teamwork in their organisations and create exceptionally productive work forces. I-CAR students are eligible to receive 3.5 Gold Class points for each of the three courses, with AMI students eligible to receive 28 Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) credits each. The curriculum for the skills-building courses is based upon the Training Within Industry (TWI) system of developing organisations. Conceived in the United States during the early 1940s as a way to dramatically boost industrial production during World War II, TWI also formed the foundation for a skills-based system of developing people within the acclaimed Toyota Production System. TWI is still used by Toyota and is referred to by many as the “Roots of Lean.”
