business development managers and consultants. A total of 25 DPS experts 
dedicated to independent and dealer repairers or large MSO (multi-shop

training, prior to communicating its availability to the marketplace,�??

certification assures that these 25 specialized account productivity and

training and testing, numerous field consulting engagements, a thorough 
Lean / Six Sigma training program, bi-weekly training sessions, field

these experts within each sales district now means that shop owners,
