SUMMARY:Advanced Production Management
DESCRIPTION:Advanced Production Management standardizes the repair process and\neliminates the barriers to efficient production. Advanced management\nstrategies demonstrate the most efficient use of people\, space and time\nto increase profits\, deliver vehicles faster and increase collision center\ncapacity. Participants learn the concept of selling the consumer first\,\nwriting complete and accurate damage reports and obtaining all correct\nparts before the vehicle is dispatched to the technician. Equally important\nis developing a pre-repair management process\, thus reducing work-in progress\nand chaos in the production area. Further advanced concepts\nexplore the importance of segregating small repairs\, measuring and\nimproving throughput\, productivity\, cycle times\, quality and customer\nsatisfaction. A new production model includes strategies to streamline\nscheduling\, parts handling\, sublet repairs and payment methods eliminating\ninefficiencies.

SUMMARY:Vision+ Estimating for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Presented by BASF and John Niechwiadowicz from QLC inc \nCourse Description \nEstimating for Profit will increase a collision center’s closing ratio by selling first\, estimating second and increasing the average repair order through a thorough damage appraisal\, effective use of the P-pages\, and professional negotiation with insurers. Estimating for Profit will also demonstrate how to streamline the estimating and/or the repair order process and reduce cycle time by eliminating reactive supplements. Further benefits include more profitable repairs\, higher productivity\, better technician compensation\, increased customer satisfaction\, and improved insurer relationships. \nCourse Objectives\nUpon successful completion\, course participants should be able to:\n1. Understand the critical importance of the estimator.\n2. Learn to sell first\, estimate second.\n3. Generate a complete damage report.\n4. Effectively negotiate with insurers.\n5. Understand how to measure selling performance. \nWho Should Attend\nDamage Writers\, Customer Service Representatives and Collision Center Managers After registration\, please keep an eye out for an email from training@absap.com with required pre-work instructions. You will also receive an email from external-profiles-management@basf.com with instructions on setting up your BASF Refinity account.
