Se enfrenta a limitaciones presupuestarias en las operaciones de la flota. ¿Cómo puede mantener los estándares de mantenimiento de alta calidad?

Amigos, a lei do atrito e a lei da gravidade são irrevogaveis. Logo, a restrição de anutenção tem uma conta catastrófica normamente aliada a canibalização da frota. Por isso a imprtancia de domínio da operação e das durabilidades de componentes, qualidade do material comprado, diesel, lubrificantes ,pneus, Arla e etc principalmente quando a situação está normal.Isso certamente prolonga algum desaforo em caso de atrasos por questões financeiras. A seriedade nos pedidos de garantia e nas negocioções anteriores possibilitam maior credibilidade na hora da parceria. O fornecedor parceiro deve ser mantido e o não parceiro deve pagar um duro preço para voltar ou até ser cortado.

You can review your maintenance strategy and ensure that you are selecting the proper one for every item (run to fail, PM, condition monitoring) and that you are performing maintenance at the optimal time interval/age. This could be done using software or manually (MS EXCEL) which require a decent knowledge of Maintenance and Reliability management. Interestingly, you might find that you can change maintenance schedules from recommended intervals of OEM without compromising performance or safety and save money. another thing, before consider any reduction in equipment number in operations, note that maintenance cost of fleet is highly affected by total running hours not the number of equipment, we pay for every working hour not equipment.

Identificar no cenário qual o principal ponto a ser considerado, diminuição de custos com combustível, manutenção preventiva de frota, seguros, direcionar o orçamento disponível, mesmo que limitado, é uma maneira de se evitar o desperdício em um momento de retrações orçamentárias.

high-quality maintenance in fleet operations can be challenging, but there are several strategies to optimize both: Prioritize Preventive Maintenance Utilize Data and Analytics Adopt a Tiered Maintenance Approach Standardize Parts and Procedure Outsource Selective Services Negotiate with Suppliers and Vendors Invest in Training Implement a Maintenance Management System Regularly Review and Adjust Maintenance Plans Promote a Culture of Maintenance

Implantar um sistema de gestão de frotas, pode facilitar todo o planejamento das manutenções preventivas conforme o manual do fabricante sugere, além de planejar a parada do veiculo, o setor financeiro já fica sabendo com antecedência, sobre o custo de cada veiculo, é o gestor de frota consegue controlar os gastos.

Invest in skilled manpower than theoretical manpower who deal with root causes in problem solving. Might need to implement all the maintenance tactics in line with the situation at hand. Preventative, breakdown, running to fail depending on condition of equipment.

Identify what you want to achieve with your preventive maintenance program. This could include reducing downtime, extending vehicle lifespan, improving safety, and lowering repair costs. Determine key performance indicators (KPIs) such as maintenance costs, vehicle uptime, and repair frequency to measure the success of your program. Follow the maintenance schedules provided by vehicle manufacturers. These schedules include intervals for oil changes, filter replacements, and other critical services. Adjust the schedule based on your fleet’s usage patterns, such as high-mileage vehicles or specific operational conditions.

Registrar todas as manutenções, manter um histórico detalhado de todos os serviços realizadas pode, ajuda a identificar padrões e prever futuras necessidades de reparo.

Not adhering to the principle of preventative maintenance is quite common in struggling businesses in bad times; has been quite common in ventures I’ve seen in Pakistan. What such businesses need to realise is the exponentially larger costs of breakdowns that follows: accidents, unexpected breakdowns, higher fuel consumption, compliance failures, and most of all BAD REPUTATION. I believe, no matter the state of economics, prevention and punctual maintenance is always a MUST.

Os cuidados com as preventivas são fundamentais ao passo que uma abordagem inicial bem feita irá prolongar a vida útil do equipamento e reduzir os custos com quebras eventuais.

Cultura de aprendizado contínuo, onde se promove um ambiente onde o aprendizado contínuo seja valorizado, incentivar os colaboradores a compartilhar conhecimentos e experiências uns com os outros.

Establishing a continuous training program for your fleet team is crucial for maintaining high operational standards, enhancing skills, and adapting to evolving technologies and best practices. Start assesing training needs, evaluating the current skills and knowledge of your team members to identify gaps and areas for improvement. Align training needs with the specific requirements of each role within the fleet team, including drivers, maintenance staff, and administrative personnel. Design a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential topics, including vehicle maintenance, safety protocols, regulatory compliance, and the use of fleet management technology.

As previous give workshop instructions in preemptive servicing alongside scheduled maintenance of vehicles again cutting down off the road time and surely prolonging the life of the vehicle

Coming from a place where “fleet management” merely refers to having a responsible person kicking around vehicle tires to check if anything is wrong or simply being ‘available’ 24/7 via phone call for emergencies and substitute arrangements. Building this perspective was important as I realise not all businesses across the globe look at ‘technology’ in the same way. One’s redundant tech could still be revolutionary for the other. Today, it is significantly cheaper to deploy any tech solution than it was some 15-20years ago and I strongly believe in leap-frogging to scale to the unimaginable heights. 👨🍳🍛 Chef special: It just takes a pinch of salt to bring up all the other flavours in a pot of curry!

Begin by evaluating your fleet’s specific needs and challenges. Consider areas such as vehicle tracking, maintenance management, driver behavior, and fuel efficiency. Establish clear objectives for technology adoption, such as improving route optimization, reducing maintenance costs, or enhancing safety. Explore key technology solutions such as: Fleet Management Software, Telematics Systems, GPS Tracking, Maintenance Management Tools, and Driver Assistance Systems. Use technology to monitor KPIs such as fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, and driver behavior. Analyze this data to assess the impact of the technology on your fleet operations.

Ferramentas de gerenciamento de inventário podem ajudar a manter um controle preciso das peças e suprimentos, garantindo que você tenha o necessário à mão sem excesso de estoque.

Si bien la tecnología es una herramienta facilitadora, también es un catalizador. Si lo vemos desde el punto de vista de catalizador, esta puede generar muchas oportunidades de mejoras, pero al mismo tiempo, se expanden las opciones de herramientas y en este ámbito, es cuando la tecnología tiende a generar "Desconexión" o silos de información. Por esto, desde mi experiencia, la "Conexión" es planificar y conectar todas las fuentes de información, para que se congreguen en un lugar capaz de entregar datos que ayuden a acelerar y democratizar la toma de de decisiones. En conclusión, la tecnología es crítica para el manejo de flotas, para simplificar la información y mantener nuestros vehículos "activos", y por ende el negocio funcionando.

I co-ordinated the rollout of a fleet tracking system on our office. This was very valuable data. I could see idling vehicles, speeding and use of the fleet vehicles. Using this data i found we could drop 2 vehicles from our fleet
