Attendees met at JGR headquarters located in Huntersville, North Carolina, where they received training from industry-leading collision services business consultants and saw firsthand how an organization can embrace lean principals to enhance workflow, communication and productivity. The Huntersville session also featured unique behind-the-scenes tours and discussions with team members from one of the NASCAR Monster Energy Series™ leading race teams.
“We aim to give our EcoLean workshop attendees an extensive and comprehensive look at how they can create a lean environment in their own facility,” said Judy Folk, Business Consulting Manager, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. “This class was a particularly special and rare opportunity for many; our attendees were be able to learn lean principles while engaging with our business consultants, and also tour one of the most productive and cutting-edge automotive centers in the country.
In addition to the race team facility tours, the Huntersville EcoLean Level 1 workshop curriculum included:
An overview of lean production and its practical application in collision repair
Approaches to making a collision facility more efficient and predictable
