Shop efficiency review

Technician — your bay, your work, your equipment

About 5–10 minutes. Every question is optional — answer what you know and skip the rest. Be blunt; none of this reflects on you. Your answers save on this device as you go.

1How the systems work for you

Rate only what you use — mark the rest N/A. If you score something 1 or 2 we will open a note box and ask what is wrong; you can also add a note to anything else.
