Ever felt completely overwhelmed in your body shop?
You might not expect to hear that most body shop stress and chaos is avoidable by getting back to basics.
Dave Luehr and his team have studied the effects of a handful of high-leverage actions that eliminate the majority of the chaos. In other words, if you do these few things, you work less and accomplish more!
There are three main operational components:
- Work In Process,
- Repair Planning, and
- Parts Management.
You can completely transform the atmosphere in your shop with effective WIP management, an emphasis on repair planning accuracy and a strong parts SOP!
Bring your team to this workshop to not only learn together, but build an action plan together. People support what they help create...
Many collision repairers accept chaos as a 'necessary evil'.
BUT that doesn't have to be your reality!
This 1-day workshop will show you how to not only reduce chaos by 80%, but banish it for good!
MODULE 1: Get work in process levels under control.
Learn the formula that will ensure you are bringing in the right number of cars and the best possible work mix to fit your unique circumstances! No operational process works correctly until you schedule and maintain an optimum work in process.
- Create a simple but effective scheduling program.
- Design your “optimum” work-in-process levels to manage to.
- Dealing with tow-ins and non-drives.
- How to schedule “priority customers.”
- Getting the proper mix of small, medium, and large sized repairs.
MODULE 2: Repair planning accuracy.
Everyone knows the importance of accurate estimates, but few know how to do it consistently. In module two of Fundamentals of Operational Success, learn our 'one touch' approach to getting repair plans right the first time.
- Two primary appraisal methods.
- Triage & appraisal scheduling.
- Successful blueprinting strategies.
- Error free blueprinting.
- Enhanced Repair Appraisal (ERA).
- ADAS considerations.
- Incorporating OE Procedures into repair planning.
MODULE 3: Parts management.
Once a shop knows how to maintain the correct levels of work and is consistently performing accurate appraisals, parts management becomes much easier.
However, to avoid costly mistakes in the repair process, there are a basic set of rules to follow. During Module 3, our trainers will help you design your own “Parts S.O.P.” to take back to your shop and implement immediately.
- Kitting and parts cart management.
- Mirror matching.
- Pre-order considerations.
- Improving vendor relations and creating a vendor agreement.
- Parts ordering and receiving best practices.
- Using your management system to manage parts.
