What is Lean Blueprinting?

The true “value-focused” process of a repair will start with blueprinting not with an estimate.

Blueprinting is a complete evaluation of all the damages to the vehicle before the repair begins. It consists of the complete tear-down of the vehicle where we are able to assess all of the damage and to determine and order all parts needed for the repair and to obtain any of the necessary before the car moves into a non-stop production process – which is an element of lean.
