New Honda Parts Manager

[kfish]

Hello all, I've recently taken over from our old parts manager. I was the assistant manager for about a year and a half prior to this and have worked in parts since 2013.

Although our parts department runs very smoothly and is profitable, my predecessor left me in the dark on a lot of the very important stuff such as reading the financial statements, calculating break even points, viewing total parts inventory etc.

I guess what I am looking for is a little guidance on how to really see what I have going on in my department so I can grow the business as much as possible. I realize there aren't many Honda/Acura people on this forum but I'm hoping some of the GM guys can chime in as I'm sure many of you have taken over in a similar situation. Thanks in advance.
