Bodyshop Revolution delivers a method of thinking and theories, to create a process which enables you to run your business far beyond what you thought was possible in terms of throughput, performance, staff morale and excellence.

Carried out correctly, Bodyshop Revolution will deliver the following:

• Vehicle throughput increases of between 25% and 50%
• A continuous workflow model which will reduce cycle time by about half
• A significant reduction in production stoppages (murphys)
• A happier, wealthier team, focused upon the same things as you
• Significant reduction in chaos and meaningless noise
• Predictability in scheduling, workflow and delivery of vehicles
• A reduction of energy, repair footprint and management input
• The knowledge to replicate and achieve sustainable success and growth

Of course this all seems a little far-fetched because the sceptical part of you will probably dismiss these claims – but we understand that. However, taught to think completely differently, given the right tools and mentoring along the way, we have proven that all of the above is quite possible, if you’re willing to open your mind to a new way of thinking.

The underpinning theories behind Bodyshop Revolution can at first seem a little daunting to newcomers because we use Systems Thinking, Theory of Constraints and Behavioural Science methodologies to achieve the result. However, the holistic outcome that is Bodyshop Revolution is robust, elegant and simple, which above all performs better than any other system we have yet encountered.

Unfortunately, we can’t just switch on Bodyshop Revolution for you. You and your whole team, at different levels have to fully understand the reasons why we do the things that we do, and only then will it become obvious that you’ve been repairing cars sub-optimally for years. We need to teach you to think differently, to understand the ramifications of your actions within your business, and the effects that has on workflow, morale, energy consumption, noise, chaos, cost… we could go on.

So how do we do that?

Understanding the ‘system’ which you work within is critical to understanding how to improve it. Only once you understand the dynamics of your system and the way in which people, technology, processes, and management style all interreact with each other at a holistic level can you accelerate your business to where you want it to be.

To do that, we need to teach you, and your team. We need to deconstruct the myths and beliefs you’ve developed over the years as to what increases the throughput and profitability of your business, and to prove and show you how different thinking and actions will create a happier, faster, more predictable place in which to work.

We need to help you see that the business (the system) that you have created is actually the real problem – not the people that come to work for you, nor your suppliers, nor your insurer customers… just the system. We show, and help you to dynamically change your system. It’s that paradigm shift in the way in which you think about, and conduct your business that creates these significant changes in performance – human performance, business performance and your own performance.

Of course, it’s not all about the theory, it’s about putting that thinking and new knowledge into practice – practical solutions that are relatively simple to carry out and easy to understand. That’s why we help you to implement Bodyshop Revolution within your business in a practical manner, by mentoring, training and educating all of the necessary people.

We’re often asked if Bodyshop Revolution is about technology and robots, but nothing could be further from the truth. We will always point out where technology could help optimise a process, in a holistic manner, especially in the achievement of continuous workflow methodologies, but nothing is mandatory.
