Mitchell’s 2009 Process Improvement ‘Express-Style’ Seminar Kicks Off In Minneapolis

Mitchell International, Inc., announced expanded educational offerings through its new “express style” seminars led by Ron Kuehn, internationally known speaker, author and business consultant.

The seminar series begins March 10 in Minneapolis, Minn., and is designed to share best practices with owners and managers of collision repair facilities to help streamline operations.

“We understand the obstacles that collision repairers are facing as they try to navigate the turbulent economy,” said Jason Bertellotti, Mitchell vice president of repair solutions. “This seminar series is a valuable learning opportunity for shops of all sizes because Kuehn will offer easy to digest ideas that collision repairers can put to immediate use.”

The three-hour seminar led by Kuehn aims to remove complexity from shop management, enabling attendees to immediately set in motion concepts including:

• Reducing total expenses by identifying and eliminating waste
• Establishing standard operating procedures
• Improving employee accountability and empowerment
• Removing scheduling limitations to improve throughput and cycle times
• Implementing systems to improve productivity and leverage existing cash flow

“It’s imperative for shops to learn techniques that are relevant to their specific business needs,” said Ron Kuehn, president of Collision Business Solutions, Inc. “That’s why we are keeping the sessions small and providing real-world examples and illustrations that participants can apply individually.”

To register for the Minneapolis seminar, call (800) 238-9111 ext.7831 or e-mail [email protected].

Other cities will be visited approximately once a quarter with the official schedule to be announced.
