Presta Products has been working closely with coatings manufacturers to develop a series of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to help body shops pick the right solution for buffing and polishing clears.
Writing up and implementing job descriptions and standard operating procedures is something that needs to be done and established before we can ever expect the shop to run like we want and need it to run.
In all operations within the store, tasks have to be identified and placed in an order of importance. Why? Because some tasks have significantly more importance to the operation than others. The ideal way to start is by identifying the employees by job description and what their job requires them to do.
When building your workplace SOPs, always keep focus on the fact that your procedures should reduce waste, increase workplace efficiencies and streamline work processes.
I think most of us who have ever owned or managed a business like to think of ourselves as being prepared to handle those surprises that the day might throw at us. The real question is, are we really ready? Is our staff ready? Do we have the training and skills to respond properly?
