1) How many workshop throughputs does your department have?
The number of workshop throughputs indicates your capacity. If you divide the total value by the number of working days in the period under
consideration, the result will be your throughputs per day. Here you can see how many workshop throughputs a service advisor is to complete on
average. Porsche plans for approx. eight complete throughputs per day.
2) How many hours can your department sell per workshop throughput?
This number indicates how successfully services are sold by the service advisor and the workshop overall. Below-average figures signify that not enough
directly accepted orders occur or the service advisor limits himself/herself to processing only orders specified by the customer. Please also note that
an insufficient productive workforce may mean restricting the additional sales per day.
3) How much labour revenue is made per workshop throughput?
See above, only this involves the value of the hours sold x the hourly charging rate
4) What is your service market exploitation level?
Do you make enough in the After Sales Marketing area? (Also see section 4.4). Below-average figures mean you are not taking advantage of your
potential in the market area. Be more active and work your sales area using a more market-oriented method.
5) What is your vehicle stock level (per segment) in your customer support area?
Using this number, you can calculate your market potential and adjust your activities accordingly. For instance, are the actions in segment 2 or 3 still
worth it, or do I have enough segment 1 vehicles in my operation as workshop customers? See also section 4.3.
6) How much do you spend on marketing (After Sales) per vehicle stock unit segment 1-3?
As measured against the comparison values, you can get an overview of how much you spend on marketing per vehicle. Use your service market
exploitation to decide whether or not you have such requirements.
7) How high are your counter sales per vehicle stock unit?
The larger the figure, the more customers you will have lost to the competition, who only procure spare parts from you, but have the repairs made
elsewhere.
8) What is your Tequipment turnover for every new vehicle/pre-owned vehicle sold?
Are you being proactive enough when selling Tequipment products? Do the sales consultants have enough informational material to advise customers
accordingly? Do your service advisors give customers advice for directly accepted orders and do they close the sale? Do you have new and
demonstration vehicles fitted with Tequipment? Make sure you do, if you haven’t already.

9) What is your staffing level?
Compare the staffing level specified to the actual level and if needed make corrections via your accounting department. Many key figures are calculated
using the staffing level and thus may lead to misinterpretations.
10) How many hours could you sell?
Compare your hours actually sold to the plan (target for hours sold). If your actual hours fall short, then you are not exploiting the full potential of your
market and you are not reaching your customers for the vehicles you have in stock.
11) How much of your mechanics' attendance time is used productively?
At Porsche, this key figure is called productivity. It describes the relationship between productive hours and attendance hours as a percentage Here, a
minimum value of > 90% should be achieved. Deviations can be explained by:
- Utilisation of the workshop
- Idle time
- Quality of the processes
- Correct time management
- Allocation of waste times/downtimes
- Subsequent work
- Management of appointments
