| Southfield, Michigan--October 1, 2010==BASF recently announced that it will host “Launching Lean,” a two-day interactive workshop for collision center employees and managers. The workshop, which will be hosted in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the Little America Hotel on Nov. 9-10, will deliver the fundamental concepts and tools needed to successfully implement Lean in a collision repair center. Lean, part of BASF’s Vision Plus University, offers students the basic control methods necessary to eliminate waste, improve cycle times and efficiencies, while reducing operating costs. Offered solely by BASF, the Lean course is the first step in implementing a continuing improvement business model and serves as a prerequisite for future workshops. “We are proud to offer our valued collision center partners the Lean program,” said Amjad Farah, Business Development Manager for BASF Automotive Refinish. “When body shop owners apply the knowledge learned from the courses -- they can gain a solid competitive edge in the marketplace to grow sales and streamline their operations.” Please contact your local distributor or BASF representative to reserve space as seating is limited. |
