Attendees met at JGR headquarters located in Huntersville, N.C., where they received training from collision services business consultants and saw firsthand how an organization can embrace lean principles to enhance workflow, communication and productivity. The Huntersville session also featured behind-the-scenes tours and discussions with team members from one of the NASCAR Monster Energy Series-leading race teams.
“We aim to give our EcoLean workshop attendees an extensive and comprehensive look at how they can create a lean environment in their own facility,” said Judy Folk, business consulting manager, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. “This class was a particularly special and rare opportunity for many; our attendees were able to learn lean principles while engaging with our business consultants, and also tour one of the most productive and cutting-edge automotive centers in the country.”
