Taylor emphasized the importance of training in creating a change in the systems of an organization in his writings. The following discussion is from Shop Management.
The most important and difficult task of the organizer (of change) will be that of selecting and training the various functional foremen who are to lead and instruct the workmen, and his success will be measured principally by his ability to mold and reach these men. They cannot be found, they must be made. They must be instructed in their new functions largely, in the beginning at least, by the organizer himself; and this instruction, to be effective, should be mainly in actually doing the work. Explanation and theory will go a little way, but actual doing is needed to carry conviction.
To illustrate: For nearly two and one-half years in the large shop of the Bethlehem Steel Company, one speed boss after another was instructed in the art of cutting metals fast on a large motor-driven lathe which was especially fitted to run at any desired speed within a very wide range. The work done in this machine was entirely connected, either with the study of cutting tools or the instruction of speed bosses. It was most interesting to see these men, principally either former gang bosses or the best workmen, gradually change from their attitude of determined and positive opposition to that in most cases of enthusiasm for, and earnest support of, the new methods. It was actually running the lathe themselves according to the new method and under the most positive and definite orders that produced the effect. The writer himself ran the lathe and instructed the first few bosses. It required from three weeks to two months for each man.

The quality foreman of the shop must be able to train operators to produced the specified quality in specified standard time. - F.W. Taylor.
It is the responsibility of industrial engineers provide training to engineers and foremen in improved methods and in collaboration with them as well as training faculty of the company to train the operators to produce as per the standard time prescribed for each element of the operation.
Industrial engineers have to learn training methodologies and design training schemes for their improved processes.

Organizations spent $359 billion globally on training in 2016, but was it worth it?
Not when you consider the following:
75% of 1,500 managers surveyed from across 50 organizations were dissatisfied with their company’s Learning & Development (L&D) function;
70% of employees report that they don’t have mastery of the skills needed to do their jobs;
Only 12% of employees apply new skills learned in L&D programs to their jobs; and
Only 25% of respondents to a recent McKinsey survey believe that training measurably improved performance.
Not only is the majority of training in today’s companies ineffective, but the purpose, timing, and content of training is flawed.
