SUMMARY:Vision+ Measuring and Improving Performance
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nThe third of our 2023 VisionPLUS series focuses on measuring and improving a collision centers performance. Students utilize and develop the data streams needed for both financial and non-financial reporting which is used to calculate the 24 critical key performance indicators (KPI’s). Participants will then compare KPI’s to benchmarks and understand what positively or negatively affects the performance. Understanding ratios\, percentages\, tracking trends\, goal setting and managing by objective is included in the curriculum. In addition\, VisionPLUS® Online is integrated to make measuring\, benchmarking\, goal setting\, reporting and improving easy. \nCourse Objectives \nUpon successful completion\, course participants should be able to: \n\nCollect accurate and timely financial and non-financial data.\nDevelop a working knowledge of the critical collision center KPI’s and what affects them.\nUnderstand how to use KPI’s to measure and improve collision center performance.\n\nWho Should Attend \nCollision Center Managers\, Bookkeeping\, Accounting and Support Personnel \nKey Points: \n\nManaging by objective\nImportance of measuring\nCollecting timely and accurate data\nUsing KPI’s to improve performance\nEffectively utilize VisionPLUS® Online to measure and improve performance

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.
