43 Questions??????? 85 MANAGING PARTS PROFIT FOR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT (The keys to Managing the Parts Manager) Richard Owen Fixed Operations Specialist THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING 43
44 Special Order Process The goal of this special order process is to: - Maximize the sales and installation rate of special order parts - Maximize parts gross profits - Minimize the build-up of obsolescence - Maximize CSI - Minimize freight expenses The #1 rule is that the service advisor MUST set an appointment date for the installation of the special order part prior to the parts being ordered. The appointment date will be written on the special order form (4 parts). Parts personnel will order the parts in the most advantageous method possible in order to satisfy the appointment date. In most cases the appointment date should be made 7-14 days in the future in an effort to maximize stock order utilization. Service personnel need to become familiar with ordering cut-off dates and times in order to maximize efficiency. The service manager MUST approve ALL special orders that do NOT have a pre-set appointment date. Any part being ordered overnight must have the approval of the service manager. In many cases rental car costs are associated with these repairs. The service manager must have the opportunity to minimize rental and freight costs in these circumstances. Customer Notification Process: 1) The advisor will pre-set the appointment date with the customer for the installation of all special order parts. The appointment date will be written on the special order form. Advisors will be given a copy to be filed by date (day) in a 31 day expandable folder. This copy is also their notification that the special order part has been ordered. 2) Parts personnel will give the service advisor another copy of the special order form when the part arrives at the dealership. This copy is to be stapled to the original and again filed back in the 31 day expandable folder. 3) Service advisors will call customers two days prior to appointment date to remind customer of appointment. This means that service advisors should be calling their customers daily. 4) If the pre-set appointment date has been missed, the service advisor will call to re-schedule. All communication attempts must be documented. Parts personnel must be informed of the re-scheduled appointment date at this time. An Urgent Notification letter should be sent to the customer after the first appointment has been missed. The parts manager must maintain a log of customers that Urgent Notification letters have been sent to. 5) Special order parts must be aged weekly (every Monday) and this list of missed appointment, special order parts, will be given to the service manager for immediate follow-up. 6) All aged/un-installed special order parts will be returned back to the manufacturer within the timeframe allowed under the manufacturer s return program guidelines. THIS PROCESS WILL HELP TO MAXIMIZE THE SALES AND INSTALLATION RATE OF ALL SPECIAL ORDER PARTS. ADDITIONALLY, IT WILL ASSIST IN MINIMIZING THE PURGING OF THESE PARTS INTO INVENTORY, THUS REDUCING THE FUTURE BUILD-UP OF OBSOLESCENCE.
