ASK...How to Eliminate Supplements from your Repair Process
Supplements = Defects

Supplements have no place in a lean collision facility if you are going to deliver the value that customers and insurers require in today’s dynamic marketplace. The goal is to restore a customer’s vehicle to a “crashworthy” status, on time, by producing a 100% accurate RO that includes all the parts, labor, operations, and materials required to complete a repair. By placing an emphasis on continuous improvement and implementing a detailed Damage Analysis and Blueprinting process in your repair plan, supplements will begin to disappear. Eliminating supplements will increase your productivity, while simultaneously driving down internal costs and cycle times.

The Sherwin-Williams Damage Analysis and Blueprinting workshop provides the tools you need to drive down, and ultimately, eliminate errors and “Defects” commonly found in traditional estimating activities. A detailed Damage Analysis and Blueprinting process will enable your locations to move to the next level in Cycle Time Reduction, increasing vehicle throughput, on time delivery and customer satisfaction. Conducting a thorough Damage Analysis on vehicles prior to launching them into production will equal zero supplements.
