The new workshop-check helps to make big savings

Every additional step, every unnecessary handshake and every outdated technique costs the bodyshop money. Bodyshop Audit identifies exactly where those savings can be made and the dormant potential in the bodyshop. Workshop-Check is the latest module in Glasurit’s business support programme, RATIO-CONCEPT-plus.

On the track of potential improvements

With Bodyshop Audit a specialist takes a day to put the workshop under the magnifying glass. He will systematically investigate all the areas surrounding the painting process: the technical equipment for the programmes of work, the products employed and the state of training of the employees.

The thorough investigation show precisely where in the workshop the need for action exists. The particular benefit of the Bodyshop Audit lies above all, in the action plan, which the Glasurit specialist agrees with the workshop. In this action plan, it demonstrates how the ways of working and techniques can be improved.

Following the audit, the businesses can implement and manage the proposals for improvement themselves.

You profit from our experience

In the Bodyshop Audit, businesses profit from the knowledge and experience that Glasurit has collected over many years working closely with bodyshops. The Netherlands in particular, has seen 10 years of successful Technology-Audit and has served as a model for the new Glasurit service.

Bodyshop owners in Italy, Belgium and Scandinavia have been using Bodyshop Audit since the end of 2005 and this service will be available in other countries in the near future.

It’s only worth it if it lasts!

It pays to have a Bodyshop Audit carried out regularly. Experience has shown that even in a well organised operation small defects always creep in over a period of time - even little mistakes in refinish processes, lack of knowledge of new products, techniques or services, all of which which could further increase the efficiency of the business.

The Glasurit efficiency tip:

In many paint shops you’ll hear hissing everywhere. The fact is every drain in the compressed air system can easily be left opened and leaky hoses and couplings are more than likely. Just a 1mm leak at approximately 13 bar can result in 130 litres of air lost every single minute. The compressor is running around the clock (even at the weekend) and that single leak could cost up to a 1,000 Euros per year.
