Exits Across Plant, Dealership and Workshop
Four workforces, four different exit risks.
What this coversHideAn exit means something different in each part of an automotive business, and a single process written for the plant will not hold at a dealership.
Plant and production
- Shift backfill before release
- Skill matrix gap identified
- Tool and locker return
- Safety training record closed
Dealership and sales
- Customer enquiries and follow-ups handed over
- Pending bookings and deliveries transferred
- Incentive and commission settled
- Demo vehicle and fuel card returned
Workshop and service
- Open job cards reassigned
- Customer vehicles accounted for
- Special tools returned
- Technician certification record closed
We build one exit process with three variants, so the plant is not made to run a dealership's checklist and the workshop does not release a technician with vehicles still on the ramp.
The general method — what exit and alumni management covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the exit and offboarding process page. What is above is the part that differs for automotive.

Where to start
Most engagements begin with a review of how this runs in your business today, then a written process and the sequence to implement it.
