Axalta is launching a new video learning series aimed at helping body shop customers in Australia and New Zealand improve productivity and workplace efficiency. The short informative videos featuring Axalta Services Manager and resident expert Robin Taylor are designed to provide insights to owners and managers who are looking to increase shop efficiency but are unsure where to begin.
According to Axalta, the video series, titled ‘Let’s Talk’, covers some of the biggest and most timely issues affecting body shops such as workflow, production management, scheduling, key performance indicators and coaching teams, with tips on how to implement successful change. Each video is available online for easy viewing on desktop and laptop computers along with mobile devices. With a runtime of less than seven minutes, ‘Let’s Talk’ can be quickly viewed and the insights and learnings from the videos immediately implemented by shop owners and managers.
The tips shared in the videos are based on Axalta and Taylor’s extensive understanding of the industry and decades of supporting body shops to be more productive and efficient. “It isn’t possible to personally visit every body shop so these videos are a perfect way to quickly share knowledge and best practices that will give body shop owners a boost to start an efficiency journey that will set them up for long term success,” Taylor said. “Our Axalta Services team is ready and available to provide additional support and guidance.”
The first video in the series, ‘Understanding the Repair Planning Process’, encourages owners to take a moment to identify problems at the start of a job, eliminating unplanned stoppages in the repair process. Axalta says the video outlines steps to develop an accurate repair plan, helping owners and managers to improve workflow and efficiency along with reducing cycle times. ‘Understanding the Repair Planning Process’ is online and available here.
Additional videos in the series will be released throughout the year. Body shop owners can sign up at the ‘Let’s Talk’ page to be notified when new videos are available or to learn about additional training resources from Axalta.
