Collision Advice

Learn how implementing a 100% disassembly parts process can create continuous flow throughout the shop!

In the average collision repair center, parts typically make up 38-40% of the average RO.  In addition, the parts storage, ordering and mirror matching processes are pointed to by many as the main reason vehicles weren’t delivered on-time.

This Collision Advice course addresses every aspect of parts management – from 100% disassembly and how to properly store parts, to ordering, receiving, mirror matching and utilizing the parts carts as visual production cues.

You will learn why a standardized parts storage process, staging areas and visual controls
are critical to guaranteeing all parts get ordered.  Learn the basics and advanced nomenclature to ensure one-time use parts are identified.  Learn to utilize technology, such as dual monitors, scanners, inventory control systems, as well as your management system reports to monitor your orders, credits and returns.

Understand the value in mirror matching and how to perform the process consistently to
ensure the correct parts are received for the repair.
