THE ESSENTIALS OF MAXIMIZING THROUGHPUT PERFORMANCE
Demands on cycle time are increasing at lighting pace. Analyzing the collision repair process, beginning when the vehicle is received into the production stream, this course teaches the systems used by cutting-edge collision centers to improve cycle time performance and enable the vehicle to flow more ominously through production. This 2-day workshop covers in detail the best practices for handling, supervising and controlling the production process from vehicle disassembly, parts ordering and repair planning to production process standardization and quality verification.
Learn the insight to successfully manage the most important asset in a collision center—the production staff! This course covers handling, supervising and controlling the production department in an effort to increase both quality and quantity which is imperative in today’s DRP environment. The logistics of the course follow the damaged vehicle through the repair process from “keys to keys,” with procedures designed to simplify systems and remove key bottlenecks.
Gaining the competitive advantage of Quality, Speed and Cost is more important than ever before. This course is enhanced to examine how to create a more efficient production environment consisting of the right people, processes, equipment and SOPs. Topics include workplace organization, use of visual controls, standard tools, standard work (SOPs), simplified scheduling techniques and built-in-quality. It focuses on fundamental improvements that can be implemented on the shop floor and the processes associated with repairing the vehicle.
