Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes' second-quarter training
courses for collision professionals will kick off in April
2011, providing the collision industry with three months of
intensive business-building courses
that are being offered through classroom, web and hands-on
settings. Sessions will be held at numerous Sherwin-Williams
Automotive Finishes training centers located in metropolitan
areas across the United States.
Classes consist of multiple courses designed to increase shop
productivity and include sessions focusing on painter
certification, AWX® waterborne systems, color adjustment and
blending, fleet refinishing, accurate estimating, workshop
efficiency and much more.
According to Rod Habel, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes
Manager of Training Operations, this year’s course offerings
reflect the Sherwin-Williams philosophy of lean
operations.
“We’re seeking to introduce concepts that support sustainable
practices, increase productivity and minimize or even
eliminate waste,” Habel says. “All of these factors can be key
to the success of a collision center.”
Habel also notes that there will be a strong curriculum
emphasis on the company’s breakthrough AWX waterborne coatings
technology, while other classes will focus on painting
excellence with its UltraSystem®, Dimensions® and/or Genesis®
systems.
Further details regarding 2011 second quarter scheduling for
the training sessions, locations and dates, and specific
