Workshop planning board

Advantages of workshop planning boards and how to use them

A clear and well-organised workshop scheduling board that can be viewed by all members of your workshop team helps streamline the workflow in your automotive business. Using work order pouches that slot into the workshop planning boards makes it significantly easier to coordinate and schedule jobs and mechanics. Thanks to the workshop planning board’s clean visual structure, you have an instant overview of all ongoing jobs and the current workload. Available capacities can be identified at a glance, helping you avoid costly downtime in your operation. The work order pouches keep the documents, information or receipts necessary for order processing close at hand. When your staff come into the workshop in the morning, they can see, at a glance, which work needs to be done on which vehicle. Your administrative staff just need to look at the planning board to see which areas of the workshop still have capacity. This makes quick, individual planning of appointments possible. And your customers will be delighted when they can get their car booked in straightaway.

It goes without saying that our workshop scheduling boards aren’t just for use in vehicle workshops and garages; other businesses use them too. Workshop planners can also be used successfully to manage service technicians, employees in craft businesses and vehicles in haulage businesses.

Our workshop planning boards have horizontal compartments or bars. The work of each area is organised per compartment. The workshop scheduling boards can simply be mounted on the most suitable wall in your business. Depending on the design, the labelling is positioned horizontally and vertically at the edge of the planning board. E.g., the names of your employees are written vertically and their availability in terms of hours is written horizontally. The work to be completed is packed into A4 work order pouches and sorted into the relevant rails of the workshop planning board in rows. Along with a compartment for documents and forms, these workshop folders also have a pocket on the back that can be used to safely store the car key. The work order pouches are available in different colours, which can be used, e.g., to indicate specific activities. This allows you to create a workshop scheduling board with a clear structure for the individual jobs, helping to give you an excellent overview of your current workload planning
