Getting
Started with LM2 Reports
Tools for Auto Body Shops and PBE Distributors . . .
turning data into information.
We provide the Best Paint & Material
management tools for the Auto Body Industry!
Lean Material Management
You can't manage what you don't measure.
Breaking Body Shop materials into smaller bite size pieces makes for easier management.
Tying those pieces to specific processes and personnel bring material management
to a level that everyone on your staff can identify with.
Our reports are the simplest way for Body
Shops to have a comparative measure of P&M
(Paint & Material)
profits with the goals of reduced waste and improved profits. With
only four shop inputs and one file
from the P&M jobber we supply the reports to help run a Lean,
Productive and Environment Friendly Auto Body Paint Shop!
While senior management needs to measure the bigger picture,
department level supervisors need information specific to their
processes. We carry this process down to the part number level with
the technicians.
There are by-products to Lean Material
Management, such as a Greener Shop and a Safer Work Environment.
We work to enhance and supplement Lean Production Initiatives
offered by paint manufacturers and others.
Here is a sample of a chart from Version 4.0 of our
standard LM2 report.
S.O.P.s The Foundation
(Go to 5S info)
Modify existing and create new SOPs, (Standard Operating
Procedures) for in house procedures such as material handling,
inventory control, internal and component use. Provide full
implementation and training to support and reinforce SOPs.
An SOP is a written document or instruction detailing all steps and
activities of a process or procedure. ISO 22000 essentially requires
the documentation of all procedures used in any manufacturing
process that could affect the quality of the product.
K.P.I.s The Report Card
Create sales tools to enable sales staff to help analyze
customer product performance and benchmarking. Provide
continuing development and training on these programs and tools.
Create tools and reports to achieve best practices and best
performance of inventory. P&M gross profit, GMROI, and other
benchmark numbers to help manage materials and reduce wastes.
Simply stated you can't manage what you don't measure.
Accessible timely actionable reports are critical to both
management and staff in order to best manage results and make
corrections where needed.

Shops are looking for more from the jobber than just a quality
paint product. That means in order to be successful, the jobber now
must become extremely knowledgeable about collision repair - the
repair process itself, insurance company relations, customer
satisfaction, quality control, SOPs, KPIs and Lean Material
Management.
J. Hunter & Associates currently works with
dozens of P.B.E. Jobbers across the country, from Oregon to
Florida, from Texas to Minnesota. Our
reports are compatible with most all jobber computer systems
(Comcept, Pangaea, Perfection, WDS-II, QB etc.).
Why use our Lean Material Management Team?
We work for the Shops. Not a material
manufacturers. Our agenda is not to sell more paint or other
products. Our agenda is to help our clients be more profitable,
appreciate the value we bring and tell their friends about the
benefits of our services. Our growth is by
word of mouth.
