Leapfrogging Lean
While implementing “Lean” into your collision repair business as a “stand-alone” system will definitely improve your shop’s operational performance, the combination of the “right” digital tools and technology with “Lean” business processes will SUPERCHARGE your operational and financial results, allowing your business to “leapfrog” Lean.
The Digi-Lean™ System will help your shop “leapfrog” a standard lean implementation by:
Ø Eliminating paper and paper based processes which, for the most part, are non-value added, costs a typical repairer approximately $49.00 per Repair Order to create, fill, distribute, search for, and file.
Ø It will help “Systemize”, “Standardize”, and “Sustain” the business through its more than 100 Business and Process Control Rules
Ø Integrated Digital Quality, Audit, and Process Management System reduces unnecessary Re-Do’s and Corrections while insuring employees follow defined processes and automatically documenting every task complete on every repair order!
Ø Automating and controlling your shop’s workflow and “pull” through advanced scheduling and production management tools.
Ø Automating several aspects of your shop’s internal and external communication processes which will improve CSI, reduce unnecessary incoming and outgoing telephone calls, and allow your personnel to be more productive performing other revenue generating tasks.
Ø Improving your cycle time through better scheduling, work flow management and ongoing, up to the minute tracking and measurements
Ø Reducing WIP and TIP through better scheduling, work flow management and the elimination of unnecessary paper based processes that account for the many “Things in Process” your shop’s office personnel deal with every day!
Ø Automating repair classifications making it much easier to implement a “triage” process in your collision repair business.
Ø “Tearing” down the wall between the front office and production floor through its shop floor information systems and connectivity that eliminates data entry, reduces unnecessary payroll processes and integrated quality into every step of the repair.
