The Admin-Profit Connection: It's Closer Than You Think
Within 30 seconds can you tell how many repairs and hours are currently on-site? If not, keep reading. By simply entering three or four essential Repair Order (RO) dates, you can get that answer quickly. Here's how:
Arrival Date: As soon as a repair arrives, log it into your Body Shop Management System (BSMS) ; now it’s included in your Work in Process (WIP) metric.
Target Delivery Date: Once the repair plan is ready, enter a target delivery date; now you have a visible target of when the repair will be done.
Actual Delivery Date: When the repair is finished and delivered, log this date to remove that job from WIP.
Target Arrival Date: If you're scheduling future repairs, use this date to manage intake levels.
These simple, quick entries give a clear picture of incoming, on-site, and outgoing repairs and hours. But what's the real benefit?
