Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine process requirements
   • Requirements for body repair facility are identified
   • Framework and rating system are developed to facilitate comparisons of materials, equipment and processes
   • OEM repair requirements are identified and assessed to establish comparisons and benchmarks to be used
2. Identify specifications for required body repair materials, equipment and work processes
   • Repair steps and work processes are identified and flow charts produced
   • Material and equipment specifications are identified to match repair processes
   • Staff and management are consulted to identify additional or altered requirements
   • Materials, tooling and equipment requirements for body work undertaken in facility are identified and specifications are documented
   • Work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for safe facility and work practices are identified
   • Required specification data is compiled and documented
3. Evaluate materials, equipment and work processes against facility requirements
   • Material options are identified against required quality, finish and conformity to OEM specifications and repair standards, and are documented
   • Equipment options are identified and documented
   • Materials and equipment are selected based on facility work processes and comparisons of performance, cost and specifications compared to established rating system
   • Outcomes are documented and report is prepared
