New Webinar from DealersEdge Announced
What Dealers, GMs & Controllers Need to Know About the Parts Department! And Why Parts Managers Need to Keep Them Informed!
Date/Time: Thursday, October 4 at 1:00 p.m.
Presenter: Mark Payne of Total Dealership Solutions
Cost: $149.00 per person
Very often dealers, GMs and controllers use a different set of metrics to evaluate the performance of the parts department and the investment in inventory.
This Webinar offers a frank discussion of what dealers, GMs and controllers need to know about the parts department and how parts managers can better present their department to top management.
You will learn:
- Common reasons why the actual value of parts on the shelf is not agreeing with the General Ledger
- What it really means when the inventory shows Non-Stock (NS) parts but with an 'on-hand' value
- How to calculate true parts department "inventory efficiency"
- The difference between "calculated" and "technical" obsolescence and why it matters
