Automotive Facilitation Training

Acquiring the latest manufacturing and sales skills is a necessity for automotive businesses.








Automotive facilitation is the transfer of auto industry information and skills from one group to another. Specific trainings can cover auto part analysis, business techniques, and sales skills all in an effort to improve an organization's overall competitiveness in the automotive industry.


Types


According to the Quality Advantage website, manufacturing facilitation training is important for consistently producing high quality auto parts and creating effective production plans. Terry Coates, a renowned automotive facilitator, states through his website that car dealerships and sales consultants can benefit from facilitation training specific to the latest sales techniques and management strategies.


Features


Manufacturing training sessions cover tools and techniques for the production part approval process (PPAP), the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), control plans, auditing, and quality control. Sales training includes demonstrations, role playing, negotiation skills, and needs assessments. Sessions are on-site, hands-on, and interactive, with post-training exams and certification.


Considerations


Depending on your employer and specific training programs, video conference training sessions are possible with final exams completed online. Class size is also dependent on your employer's wishes and training budget.
