DuPont Performance Coatings Offers Lean Training Schedule
DuPont Performance Coatings (DPC) has announced an aggressive training initiative focused on lean process implementation.“We’ve created a multi-tiered approach to lean implementation for collision shops,” said Jim Evans, national training manager of DuPont Performance Coatings. “We understand that each shop has individual needs, so this program is designed to provide lean information and tools appropriate for each shop’s requirements.”
Lean process is an improvement methodology that considers the expenditure of resources for any means other than the creation of value for the customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination.
The DPC lean initiative will begin with “SMART Cycle Time II: A Lean Approach,” in most major markets in December 2008, and January, February and March of 2009. This one-day seminar provides the basics of lean concepts as well as management by constraints.
“By running this excellent SMART Seminar in most major markets in early 2009, DPC will be able to respond quickly to the industry’s need for lean information,” Evans said.
Evans noted that all SMART Seminars are AMI and I-CAR approved.
Additional lean implementation tools are available to shops through the DPC lean implementation program. Trained consultants are available to assist shops with lean process management.
