Key Talking Points
- Lean Six Sigma- two philosophies together. “Sigma” is a statistical word to measure variation. 2,000 cars per year= accept less than 1 comeback over 10 year period. Reducing variation- getting an oil change done, all experience is the same and the process is the same while encompassing the best practices. Comebacks because certain technicians work differently under one umbrella. Eliminating having certain techs working on certain jobs.
- Having the right environment for lean production- minimize the inefficiency in a production environment. Eliminating wasting time.

Dorman gives people greater freedom to fix vehicles by constantly developing new repair solutions that put owners and technicians first. By always innovating, Dorman has led the way in growing the aftermarket. Here you will see a few examples of a Dorman OE Fix. An OE FIX is a Dorman repair solution you can’t get from the original equipment manufacturer. It means they found a situation where they believe the OEM wasn’t giving repair professionals what they wanted, so we fixed it. Everything Dorman does is centered around providing customer value, both in the quality of products, and the creativity of solutions. Our engineers and designers go out of their way to save repair technicians time and save vehicle owners money. Want to really go under the hood?
