Dealership Operations Analysis

Dealership Operations Analysis is a dealership-specific and DMS-specific "micro" review of the DMS application and the financial and operating data resulting there from.

The objective of the analysis is to identify operating processes and the application of the DMS itself in relation to the parts inventory investment and in relation to the dealership operating objectives.

The DMS data is entered into a proprietary computer model to illuminate DMS inventory performance "cause" and "effect".

The model evaluates specific data-sets that determine inventory financial performance. While the model displays all the data in different arrays - to answer specific operating questions - the following are among the more important important data sets evaluated:

• Data "Source" Formatting - Which parts are controlled by which computer parameters
• The application / selection and financial impact of the computer parameters - arrayed by "DMS" source (not purchase source) and DMS inventory "status"
• DMS "utilization" - which parts are being controlled by the computer - which are not and why
• "Sales" (SKU's, Lines, Dollars) by inventory "status"
• Idle Capital by "computer" source and by computer status
• Return-On-Investment (ROI) by computer source and computer status

This analysis may be compared to a CAT scan whereby important human functions can be observed. But just as the CAT scan is not a stand alone component of human medicine, neither is the Operations Analysis. Both require technical evaluation and interpretation as it impacts the corpus.

The "Operations Analysis" is normally integrated with several other ADMI consulting activities, or it can be executed as a stand alone baseline measure as a prelude to on-site integration of modified DMS processes with other related fixed operations processes.
