RD11 - Lean Flow Concepts: Improve Your Hours Completed Per Day

Steve Trapp, DuPont Performance Coatings; John Sweigart, The Body Shop @

Repairers have been asked to focus on improving the hours completed or repaired per day, and this seminar will help you refine your administrative and production processes to improve performance.  Looking not only at the value of the steps in the process, but also the flow of the processes is key to improving this number to industry leading performance. We will give very specific best practice recommendations to enable reduction and improvement of customer service provided.  We also will discuss how to sell the change to your staff once you return and make them own the improvement and be supportive of the enhanced best practices. Objectives of completing this workshop are to:

1. Understand hours per day, standards for performance and what step change is possible.
2. Understand both the administrative and production processes impacting hours completed per day and review best practices to improve.
3. Understand how coordination of work flow enhances performance when you have large volume and need to keep flow moving.
4. To re-sell the value of improving the metric to the technicians and office staff, and get them to see the value in change
5. To discuss how to prioritize the improvements and then to establish visual controls to keep them in place long term.
