MVP and It's Benchmarking Approach

The MVP Benchmark Report offers a detailed, confidential evaluation of how your shop measures up in areas critical to a body shop's overall performance. To assure validity, the benchmarking process compares your organization to other top-performing shops with comparable sales volume and other specific criteria. Reports can be provided quarterly, semi-annually or as often as you deem necessary

Each benchmarking module identifies key performance indicators or "best practices" to provide a "real world" analysis of how your shop is performing in each critical area. The best practices profiled for each module enables you to see exactly where improvement is needed. In essence, the report's major benchmark findings paint a roadmap for developing an action plan to make your shop into a continual top performer.

Benchmark Report key content includes:

Executive Summary - summarizes development needs with high impact potential

Production Analysis - measurements of production efficiency with comparisons to average and top shops and best practices.

Finance Analysis - key financial measurements along with peer group comparisons, your shop's potential and best practices.

Administration - measures key indicators of administrative efficiency along with best practices
