Jan. 24, 2014—Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes’ next EcoLean Level 1 workshop will take place March 4-5 at the Omni La Mansion del Rio on the River Walk in San Antonio, the company announced Friday.

Greg Eisenhardt, Sherwin-Williams A-Plus marketing manager, said the first day of the workshop exposes attendees to the logical principles necessary to begin a lean journey in their collision repair facility. The second day of the workshop allows attendees to see those principles in action at a Toyota vehicle assembly plant.

  • The EcoLean Level 1 workshop curriculum includes the following components:
  • Principles of reducing environmental waste
  • Overview of lean production and its practical application in collision repair
  • Approaches to making a collision facility more efficient and consistent
  • How to build a lean culture from the ground up
