Production Process Planning
The Process Steps document is one of the coaching tools that are used with the members of our reengineering program. It provides the questions that when answered, can help build the end-to-end production processes necessary to gain maximum efficiency throughout the store.
This starts at receipt of the vehicle through final delivery. Its use helps to provide a predictive model for the amount of labor that can be produced with the highest quality. Ultimately providing the owner with the tools necessary for the shop to thrive.
