Ok but before you get cycle time you have to have the maximum bugs worked out of your SOPs process and cross train your people working together and doing it the same way every time.The techs are the monster and you have to feed that monster so a lean lean WIP will kill your monsters drive but you cant just have cars sitting either.its a balance but i think shop lose site of it. If they lose site of the worker GP then the the worker wont care about the shops or MSO or Owners GP. and thats one big reason why you are not seeing 2nd generation body men or painters any more.😮😮😮 where did they Go.😢😢😢 they were WIP AN GP to death and when their give a Dam was broken they disappeared just like the Mohicans 😧😧😧😭😭🧐🧐🧐 they goneeees😮😮😮
True but with out them and giving them what they need to do their job it kills the drive of the whole shop.they are asked to do many things that cost them their cycle time an pay.from hunting parts and qc parts when they come in and not having a educated parts person they have to stop their paying job to help someone that is paid hourly to do theirs. Kills their drive.
number one if you were never an experienced tech.you do not have what it takes to be a good owner!!!you can't be taught what you don't know.and it's all a giant scam anyways.charge for oem parts,then put on korean.you know.
Great video Dave . Thanks for the knowledge. Keep up the great work.
I really appreciate that! Glad you are finding value in the videos.
So, so true, your video is very helpful for people that we understand what you mean when they put that in practice,
Thank you so much !
Thank you!
Great video. Scheduling is definitely the answer for drive able cars. But the tows never stop. Please advise
Sorry for the late reply... You CAN say no to tows. The consolidator shops do it all the time.
Where can I find the requirements to become a DRP shop? Any information is appreciated.
Each insurance company has their own requirements. Are you sure you want that?

That's a lot to take in. When techs are paid on commission, most behaviors change and usually not in a good way nowadays. Grateful for your comment.
