This document outlines steps for developing a streamlined vehicle repair production system. It describes conducting a complete "Methodical Breakdown" of the damaged vehicle to create a validated and documented repair plan. This industry-leading process is said to reduce repair time by 60% while improving quality and customer satisfaction by eliminating typical delays experienced in traditional body shops. The document provides information on supplies needed to set up an organized disassembly operations bay and acknowledges the presenter for the training opportunity.
Benchmarking is the continuous process of measuring products, services, and practices against competitors or industry leaders to establish goals and drive continuous improvement. The benchmarking process involves 10 steps: 1) identifying what to benchmark, 2) determining competitors to benchmark against, 3) collecting data on competitors, 4) analyzing performance gaps, 5) projecting performance levels, 6) communicating findings, 7) establishing goals, 8) developing action plans, 9) implementing plans and monitoring results, and 10) recalibrating benchmarks. Following this process helps organizations incorporate best practices, gain superiority over competitors, and improve performance.

What you will need to set up disassembly triageRANDY FERRESE
The document lists the equipment needed to set up a disassembly triage work station for auto body repair, including a team production scheduling board, digital camera, computer with dual monitors, parts cart, pan system, markers, scan tool, two post lift, tire machine, AC machine, bins, mobile tool cart, air hose reel, drop light, glass removal tool, collision wrap, drain pan, mop and bucket, and methods to measure and validate damage. It emphasizes the importance of training estimators and technicians, having knowledgeable parts managers, documenting damage, and ensuring well-organized disassembly.
How to use the booth cycle production boardRANDY FERRESE
The document provides instructions for using a production board to help a body shop team meet labor goals. It explains how to:
1) Set daily goals by calculating the hours two technicians can complete at 200% efficiency (32 hours).
2) Determine weekly goals by multiplying the daily goal by 5 days (160 hours).
3) Calculate monthly goals by multiplying the daily goal by 21 work days (672 hours).
4) Use magnets on the board to forecast the order jobs will be processed and track progress toward goals.
The document discusses integrating key PPAP elements into a single Excel tab rather than across multiple tabs. It outlines five unique PPAP elements and steps to plot each element on a single chart, including plotting the customer specification, gage R&R estimate, measurements from initial samples, and capability study statistics from each cavity. The integrated approach puts all necessary information on one chart that is navigable via an Excel slider bar to compare different traits, improving upon traditional multi-tabbed workbooks.

TECOSIM project: Automatic bolt generator for crash simulationsTECOSIM Group
In crash simulations, bolt connections are generally modeled as simplified analogous models (Beams or Connectors). More efficient modelling at a favourable cost is required. In a project TECOSIM develop an automatic bolt generator for crash simulations in ABAQUS.

Bei Crash-Simulationen werden Schraubenverbindungen bisher in den meisten Fällen durch eine vereinfachte Ersatzmodellierung abgebildet. Eine leistungsfähigere Modellierung bei günstigen Kosten ist nötig. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes entwickelte CAE-Spezialist TECOSIM einen automatischen Schraubengenerator für Crash-Simulationen in ABAQUS.
