Workshop bay load review
A review of how work actually occupies your bays across a week, including defect jobs that never appear on the planned sheet.
Who it is for
Depots where planned inspections look tidy on paper while fitters spend the afternoon on vehicles that failed at the gate.
What you should be able to do afterwards
A written picture of bay time spent on planned work versus defects, VOR, and waiting, which you can take to a management meeting without rewriting it into slides.
Scope
One workshop, typically one observed week plus the previous four weeks of job cards.
Included
- On-site observation of a full shift if travel is booked
- Count of job cards against bay hours
- A short report and a simple weekly load sheet for the foreman
Not included
- Staff appraisals
- Time-and-motion studies of individual fitters
Who attends
Marcus Adeyemi.
How the work runs
- Collect job cards and the planned inspection list.
- Walk the workshop and note which bays sat empty for parts.
- Return a load sheet and a two-page note on where planned work lost the week.
Time
Ten working days after the observation day.
Where
On site, then a written pack by email and post.
What to prepare
Warn the workshop we are counting jobs, not scoring people.
Limits we will not paper over
One week is a sample. School-run peaks and holiday cover will look different; we will say so.
Fees
£1,400 including one observation day. Extra depots priced separately.
Next step
Name the depot and whether night shift uses the same bays.
