STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — PPG Automotive Refinish will present its MVP Throughput Performance Solutions (TPS) programs at the upcoming NACE in Las Vegas. Two seminars, to be held on Nov. 2, will address the simplicity of the process changes required to meet current performance requirements, and also focus on the key factors that make organizations successful in the implementation process.

"Our goal is to help shops navigate through all of the theory and complexity using a system developed, refined and proven over time,” says Jim Berkey, director of business solutions for PPG Automotive Refinish.

In addition to the two seminars, PPG will co-facilitate a NACE sponsored Roundtable titled Lean –Understanding the Process. The roundtables will provide a forum to discuss Lean Six Sigma processes in the collision center and allow participants to receive specific feedback on issues concerning their shop. The lean-focused roundtable will take place on Nov. 3.

“Business is changing hands within the Collision Industry today based upon shop performance in areas including quality, cycle time and cost of operations,” says Berkey.  "It is becoming more common within the collision industry to reference Lean Six Sigma and Theory of Constraints in the context of improving collision center process performance. We are proud of the fact that we have been developing and implementing programs that provide shops a practical and proven approach to improving performance based upon principles of Lean Six Sigma for the past four years. To date over 300 participants have graduated our week-long Green Belt Training program and we would like to share the success stories of our customers at NACE."

For more than a decade, PPG’s MVP program has focused on collision shop performance and achieving more with fixed assets. MVP Throughput Performance Solutions is a continuation and evolution of PPG’s performance-focused program. According to Berkey, components of the MVP program include benchmark reporting, facility layout and design, roundtable summits, revised one- to two-day Business Development Series courses, five-day Green Belt Training, and ParaKaizen performance groups. Each has a common purpose of helping participants improve throughput performance through quality, speed and cost.

“MVP TPS is relevant for the collision center professional, regardless of the size or structure of their operation,” says Rich Altieri, senior manager, PPG business solutions. “Our Green Belt Training program provides shops with practical application of Lean Six Sigma for collision repair and our Business Development Series training programs drill down into best practices relative to estimating, production and administrative management, sales & marketing skills and more. Once a customer has attended the training courses, we provide a path for continuous improvement through our Roundtable and ParaKaizen Conferences.”

PPG’s NACE seminars will be by invitation only. Collision shop owners and managers, PPG distributors and insurance company representatives who are attending NACE can inquire by calling their local PPG representative.
