Do you still juggle through the stack of papers to schedule your routine maintenance? Do you find it arduous to align maintenance with your daily fleet operational activities?
Well, say no more. With Our fleet management solution, you don’t need to mug up the dates, search through those huge spreadsheets or create a mind-map for that every now and then and sacrifice productivity of your fleet.
Let’s take a pause and understand the underlying importance of the scheduling maintenance and showing up the vehicles at the workshop, stringently. Answer to that lies in adherence to the Maintenance Management Model given by Mobley (2008) and Sullivan and others (2004), which empirically estimates that any last-minute repair activity costs you 4 times more if the same repair activity was executed under the planned maintenance. Follow along for the revelation.
You miss turning-up a vehicle to it’s schedule maintenance and the collateral damage it causes is manifold.
- High wear and tear rates of the Vehicle.
- Cost of repairs, in case of breakdown.
- Wages paid to the idle operatives in lieu of idle Vehicle.
- Cost of alternate Vehicle engaged.
- Cost of regaining the momentum in the business if a large chunk of your fleet goes idle due to unexpected breakdowns.
- Cost on account of loss of goodwill from client/customers.
- And, the overall cost of loss in the associated production, wherever applicable.
From a fleet owner stand-point, it takes a lot of consistent effort to keep your fleet up and running and you often tend to lose on what’s going on with your fleet if you don’t have a maintenance plan for that. And, for a perfect execution of that, it becomes inevitable that you don’t miss-out on any scheduled maintenance.
