FIXLINE,THE NEWBODY SHOPFORMULA

FixLine is the new modern body shop process that represents Symach’s latest concept in terms of productivity, quality and service.1

FixLine is a new layout and repair process which, when combined with Drytronic technology and the SPAP painting cycle, provides for a 50% to 60% increase in productivity, as well as an increase of 1.5-2 repairs per week per techni-cian: an objective that has already been achieved, and in some cases even exceeded, by many of our largest customers.

2

FixLine reduces vehicle movements between the various repair stages from 7 to 3, as various stages of repair activi-ties themselves are carried out on the CarMover in the semi-automatic line.3

Repair activities have changed considerably in recent years, with the majority of repairs shifting from larger and more structure-related issues, to smaller issues of a more aesthetic nature. For this reason, we believe that the repair processes currently employed in the auto body repair industry are no longer suitable.Today, most body shops employ a single repair process, which, while certainly suitable for more extensive activities, in our opinion is poorly suited for activities involving the 1 to 3 panels that represent nearly 85% of total repair jobs.FixLine uses three different repair and layout processes, based on the number of panels to be repaired. In this manner, the system is capable of optimizing repair times and reducing labor costs by as much as four or five hours for each repair.

4

Single-panel - single panel repairs, or more if cosmetic repair.These types of repairs make up 20% of the total market.FixLine repairs damage of this type in two hours, guaranteeing customer delivery in less than four hours.

Standard - non-structural repairs involving two or three panels.These types of repairs make up 60% to 65% of the total market.FixLine repairs damage of this type in just less than eight hours, guaran-teeing customer delivery in just one and a half days.

Large - repairs involving four or more panels, including structural damage.These types of repairs make up 15% to 20% of the total market.FixLine reduces the current labor and delivery times by half.

It is important to note how dividing the repairs into the three groups significantly change the number of panels repaired for each phase, and consequently the amount of time required for the repair process.

Panels Panels

FixLine is a process, not a product, and as such must be applied to the client in a customised manner in order to ensure the complete satisfaction of all their requirements in terms of productivity, quality and speed of repair. Every car body shop has its own standards of quality and service that must be respected and improved, and the modernisation of the repair process with FixLine takes these values into account.As the FixLine process is suitable for car body shops that are capable of offering 5 to 40 repairs per day, we have chosen the model value of 20 repairs per day for the purposes of this presentation.

Objective of the car body shop.The shop is performing today 45 repairs per week with 15 technicians, and aims to perform 100 repairs per week, while at the same time reducing costs, providing a faster delivery service, improving quality and a simplified work planning.

Data regarding the car body shop2Repairs performed by the car body shop

The first black box contains the statistical average of all the repairs performed. The numbers shown are also in line with the global repairs averages.

2.1

FIXLINEPROCESS

2.34 panels repaired on average, of which 1.30 panel repaired and 1.04 panel replaced with new ones,

6% of the repairs are performed using a frame-jig or pull bench,

1.31 panels on average require the application of body filler,

1.40 panels on average require the application of primer,

3.03 panels on average need to be painted, of which 0.69 require blen-ding and 1.04 require wet on wet primer - sealer.

A car body shop’s design requires the collection of specific repair and production data. In order to clarify this concept, we have chosen to use the data for the “Alfabeta” car body shop as an example.

Comparison of work times employed with the current situation and with the FixLine processThe table shows the times required for the repair process, broken down by roles and phases.

13:20 H: the first box (grey) shows the average time that the car body shop currently takes to complete a repair process.8:32 H: the second box (blue), on the other hand, shows what the average repair time would be if the car body shop were to employ the FixLine process.4:47 H: the average repair time reduction due to:• the new preparation and painting times linked to the SPAP cycle, • the elimination of the need to move the vehicle,• the improved rationalisation of the process, with the repairs having been divided into uniform groups of requirements.

The next boxes (of different colours) show the average work times employed for each type of repair.2:02 H (yellow): the average time employed for group A repairs (ONEPANEL - one panel repaired, which represents 21% of the total repairs performed).8:26 H (green): average time employed for group B repairs (STANDARD, 2 or 3 panels repaired, which represent 64% of the total repairs performed). 14:34 H (orange), average time employed for group C repairs (LARGE - 4 or more panels repaired, even requiring frame-jig or pull bench, which represent 15% of the total repairs performed).

The table read horizontally, containing columns of different colours, shows the time required for the repair by phase.

New project 4The table shows the car body shop’s target of twenty repai-

rs per day and by group, based on the current percentages.

21% ONEPANEL repairs, equal to 4,2 repair jobs per day.64% STANDARD repairs, equal to 12,8 repairs per day.15% LARGE repairs, equal to 3 repairs per day.

4.1

The following statistics are listed for each of the three groups of repairs:Average repair time for each phase.Number of technicians required for the daily production activities.Number of technicians employed for the daily production activities.Number of workstations required for the lay-out.Numbering of workstations included in the lay-out.

4.2

Comparison of the results The average repair time improves from the current 13:20 H to 8:32 H, resul-ting in a time savings of 4:47 H per every repairs, in one year h 24000 in total.The number of repair jobs per week improves from 45 to 100, resulting in an annual increase of 2.660 repairs.The number of technicians employed increases from 15 to 22, performing more than twice the number of repairs.Since it would take 33 technicians to perform the new number of repairs at the current productivity rate, we can assume an actual decrease in the num-ber of technicians employed by 11.The weekly productivity rate per technician increases by 1.55, from 3 to 4.55 repairs, a 52% improvement.Key to key time, the average number of days required to deliver the vehicle to the customer decreases from 7.3 to 2.6 days, for an average reduc-tion of 4.7.

Repair process for group A - ONEPANEL type damage (repairs on one panel)The FixStation workstation (labelled 12) allows a technician to perform 4 repairs per day, one every 2:02 h.The work process involves a single vehicle position for every stage of the repair operations, with no movements required, and the preparation and painting is performed using the SPAP cycle.The FixStation is a 5.00 m wide by 8.00 m long preparation and painting area equipped with Flydry and BaseTron-Close, as well as the Shopline accessories.

7

Repair process for group B - STANDARD type damage (repairs on 2 or 3 panels).The process only involves three vehicle movements to be performed during the process of the repair operations. The department performs 13 STANDARD repair jobs per day with 15,5 technicians.

8

Without moving the vehicle, the disassembly and panel beating operations are both performed at this workstation by either one or two technicians, based on how their roles have been organised.Once the repair operations have been completed, the technician moves the vehicle onto the FixLine, loading it onto the CarMover at the first of the stations labelled 2.Once the vehicle has been moved, the technician will be able to immediately begin the subsequent repair job, as the vehicle is already avai-lable in the buffer station.This station is a work area 4 m wide by 7 m long, with an additional 2 m of adjacent hallway space for storing equipment. Each station is equipped with ShopLine accessories.

Stage 2 – One FixLine KombiTron Note: In addition to the FixLine KombiTron, which is capable of performing 16 repairs per day, there is even the FixLine SprayTron, capable of performing 10 repairs per day. (see catalogue of products).

All the FixLine workstations are 4.00 m wide by 8.00 m long, and are equipped with CarMover units for moving the vehicles in just 5 seconds.The FixLine system is capable of performing 13 Standard repairs and 3 Large repairs per day, for a total of 16 repairs, employing a total of 7.5 technicians for the body filler, primer, painting and polishing phases.With the FixLine system, each technician is required to perform only one role during the course of the day, which means that they can alter-nate between different roles, but on different days.For repairs that take more time than the average, the FixLine system allows for more than one technician to be involved in the preparation of the same vehicle, thus helping to maintain a constant rhythm and productivity rate.

SPAP PAINTING EASYDRY:http://youtu.be/CHystCnyETM

Two KombiTron stations, labelled 4 and 5, the first for painting and the second for drying.8.2.4

SprayTron is composed of: • Station 5 is a SprayTron, spray and drying booth equipped with Easydry units.• Station 6 is a drying booth, equipped with an Easydry unit.using the SPAP cycle, two painters alternate painting two repairs per hour in the following manner.• In booth 5, which is equipped with a SprayTron and Easydry unit,

the first painter applies the wet on wet – sealer and dries it with the Easydry unit. Afterwards, the water base is immediately applied and dried with the Easydry unit. The clear lacquer is then immediately applied, but instead of being dried in the same booth, the vehicle is pushed into the second booth (labelled 6), where the second Easydry unit dries the clear lacquer.In this manner, the first painter finishes with the application on the first repairs in about 25 minutes, and booth 5 is therefore freed up every half-hour for the other painter.With this procedure, each of the two painters spends about 25 minutes of each hour performing painting operations, and the remaining 35 minutes are spent washing the spray gun and preparing the colour and clear for the next job.

We trust we presented the FixLine work process in a sufficiently simple manner, so as to properly convey the significant value that this form of car body shop is capable of offering.

We are aware that the proposed model is quite innovative and that it may cause certain doubts to arise regarding the possibility of repairing vehicles in a more industrialised manner, but we have already succee-ded in doing so.

We offer a wide range of solutions worldwide, with organisational models that can be easily adapted to satisfy the customer’s specific requirements.
