MANAGEMENT

Creating a Continuous Improvement Culture

We have all heard the phrase, “If you are not growing, you’re dying” when relating to business. Growing properly can be as simple as getting better at what we do a little every day.

Companies that take this approach, are miles ahead of the competition, even while only making small incremental improvements over long periods of time. These companies put Continuous Improvement at the top of their priority list, and make it an integral part of their culture.

TECHNICAL

Preparing For High Strength Steel Repair

OEM’s are hard pressed to produce vehicles that are not only stylish, functional and cool looking, but extremely fuel efficient and safe as well. Over the past 20 years we have seen more and more Advanced High Strength Steels trickle down from high-end luxury vehicles to mass-produced vehicles.

We are now seeing aluminum intensive vehicles in the under $50K price range. Repair facilities need to be ready to repair these advanced material vehicles to increase profitability and remain competitive. This story will help shops prepare for the future.
