Reducing Cycle Time

Reducing Cycle Time (6 hours)

This course is designed to assist owners, Estimators, and Production Managers in refining the skills necessary to organize a Daily Production Plan, reduce the time it takes to repair a vehicle, and increase overall Customer and Insurer satisfaction.

Are You Experiencing:
  • Multiple delays in the repair process
  • Vehicles not put into production promptly
  • The in-Monday, out-Friday scheduling routine
  • Painters who are under utilized early and late in the week
  • Repair procedures forgotten until late in the repair process
  • Not meeting promised delivery dates
  • Lack of communication between departments

The Course Will Provide:
  • Methods to identify “Gaps” in the production process
  • Various scheduling techniques to minimize bottlenecks
  • A systematic method to categorize / triage jobs so that work is distributed appropriately throughout the week
  • A scheduling spreadsheet and procedure to use the spreadsheet in order to avoid the four scheduling pitfalls
  • A production plan spreadsheet to use for creating work lists for various departments
  • Methods to effectively dispatch work
  • A process to increase inter-departmental communication
  • Information about how to score-keep your production activity

Participants will have the opportunity to see the spreadsheets demonstrated and will receive a CD containing the files so that they can return to their repair center and implement these procedures quickly!

Testimonials

I own and operate two shops and my life can get pretty hectic at times. Since I joined the Acoat program around seven years ago I have literally spent half the time in my shops that I used to. Thanks very much! more...
