Blueprint for SuccessGrowth was starting to adversely affect
efficiency at this shop, until it turned to a production management program
based on a thorough, down-to-the-last-bolt estimate written by its blue printerSNAPSHOT
Technicians:
12 in the body and frame department, six in the paint department.
Administrative: Two owners, an office manager and assistant, a
greeter/clerical person, a blue printer, two production managers and four
estimators.
Buildings: One 23,000-sq. ft. building houses the administrative staff
and body shop. A contiguous 11,000-sq. ft. building contains the frame and
paint department, including three downdraft paint booths. The entire
property covers about two acres, with plenty of parking space. Photo above: Rick Koonce,
