Are your mechanics team working full-time, and yet are they struggling to cope with the numerous tasks to be carried out? Before hiring new staff, we advise you to check everyone’s workload to understand their needs clearly.
One of the best practices for better assessing the garage’s workload is establishing repair standards. This will allow you to plan work better and help you know the training needs of your staff in your repair shop. An example of standardized coding well known in the vehicle and heavy equipment maintenance industry is the VMRS codes These standards make it possible to standardize the documentation carried out by your mechanics and control the work more efficiently.
By combining this coding of tasks performed with control exercised with relevant metrics for maintenance, you can determine bottlenecks in your processes and opportunities for improvement. This is when your decisions will no longer be made by intuition but by facts.
Do you need an electronics technician or labourer to enter and remove equipment? Properly coding interventions allows you to make informed decisions.
Do you have the right tools to plan your workload properly? Good repair shop management software can help you better assess and plan the workload in your garage.
