Why arent manufacturers adjusting CSI expetations.

If you think 3 guys can provide the same service as 5 why would a dealership have 5 to begin with?

If this is the real issue, then management might have cut too deep. If you have the same amount of service rolling through your doors, then there was no need to cut.

Don't get upset with the manufacturers - get upset with your management team.
 
Ford has become much more focused on CSI in our Zone. Our Zone and District Managers are obviously getting the heat turned up on them and they are spending more time with stores as a result.

This is a good thing! It can not hurt ensuring customers are satisfied with the transaction. For some customers buying a car / truck is one of the largest purchases they will make for a very long time.
