Audatex says the 10-module online course is the first of its kind for the industry and provides a convenient and cost-effective way of learning how to apply proven lean principles specifically to auto collision repair. The self-paced program provides targeted methodologies for cycle-time reduction, waste elimination and process improvement that can help quickly improve shop productivity, customer satisfaction and business-growth potential. The course also provides optional continuing education units and Audatex certification.
“Lean processes are becoming increasingly important to collision repairers,” says John Scully, ASA executive vice president. “The additional flexibility of being able to learn the intricacies of lean operations online in the shop or from any Internet connection just increases the value of this program.”
Unlike traditional classroom-based Lean Six Sigma training programs or full-day seminars, the Audatex course doesn’t require travel, hotel or meal expenses – making it an economical choice for collision repair facilities taking the first step toward becoming lean.
“This is a great opportunity to train everyone in your shop for less than $100 per employee,” says David Trissel, associate vice president of process excellence for Audatex. “The course provides comprehensive coverage of Six Sigma and Lean principles and concepts including 5S, waste, pull, flow, value stream mapping, mistake-proofing and Kaizen.”
