Most body shops believe that production is variable.
Some days are productive.
Some days are slow.
Some weeks feel completely out of control.
This variability is often accepted as normal.
But production is not random.
It becomes unpredictable when the system is not controlled.
Work enters at different times.
Jobs start without coordination.
Priorities constantly change.
As a result:
– vehicles accumulate
– bottlenecks shift
– flow becomes unstable
Every repair follows a sequence:
disassembly
repair
preparation
paint
reassembly
But when this sequence is not controlled,
the system breaks.
Work does not move continuously.
It starts and stops.
👉 This is what creates variability.
