AkzoNobel Sikkens Acoat Selected Releases Three New Training Classes

AkzoNobel Sikkens Acoat Selected has released three new training classes. Each class has been approved for I-CAR points through the I-CAR Industry Training Alliance program.

The new classes, available to all Acoat Selected members, are as follows:

Cycle-time Processing Reduction (CPR) —
focuses on the impact of production management on cycle time. It’s not about working faster or harder. It’s about working smarter.

Rules of the Road: Standardization and Visual Management (PCE) —
learn how to create and implement standardization and a visual workplace while continuously eliminating waste and variability.

PCE Ready — addresses the processes that must be in place to manage every incoming vehicle such that it can flow without delay or interruption through the repair process.

“The addition of these classes expands our industry-leading class assortment to 23 courses,” says Barry Rinehart, AkzoNobel North American services manager. “The combination of the Sikkens brand paint technology and our leading edge business education programs and highly skilled Business Consultants that work with our business clients has created metrics of success that exceed industry trends.”
