The purpose of Preventive Fleet Maintenance is to maximize a vehicle’s availability and longevity. Our preventative maintenance program seeks to keep the vehicle in good enough shape to avoid the need for unexpected repairs. When unexpected issues arise, plans are fulfilled and disruption is minimized when thorough evaluations are conducted during each preventive maintenance.
The program undergoes an annual review to ensure it accurately reflects any changes in the lifespan and productivity of the whole market. We perform regular scheduled maintenance actions in agreement, with industry best practices, meet manufacturers’ specifications, and guarantee needs. Our program aims to ensure that all units are within reach and in a useful, secure form. Our Preventive Armada Upkeep program goes beyond the manufacturer‘s recommendations and considers the location and usage of the hardware, vehicle, or equipment.
Preventative Fleet Maintenance and Repair Program
There are four key segments for a successful Preventive Maintenance Program:
- Scheduling
- Notification and Reporting
- Performance
- Repairs
Scheduling
Preventative fleet maintenance activities should interfere slightly with the operator’s normal required work schedule. Vehicle and equipment preventive maintenance appointments are planned at times that work for both parties. Develop and provide a preventive maintenance schedule that covers the Client’s needs within 10 business days. This notification will be provided in writing to the department or unit number responsible for departments regarding vehicle preventative maintenance. The Client, the Department representatives, and vehicle and equipment operators are responsible for keeping scheduled appointments for preventive maintenance.
Notification and Reporting
At this point the next key segment, Notification. We will notify individuals and Department heads of the next months’ schedule via a formal letter. If available, we will email each person to remind them of the appointment.A report detailing “PM No Shows” as well as any other relevant preventative maintenance-related details will be provided for the client each week. On a periodic basis, we provide a report outlining statistical analysis, and recommendations to enhance the overall maintenance of the fleet. When a vehicle isn’t conveyed for service after getting a second notice, we alarm the top management of the significant client agency. VFM will note the no-shows. If the vehicles develop a problem that results in a repair, we will be able to find the cause and fix it.
Performance
After planning each arrangement and completing all coordination perspectives, the Execution stage starts. Checklists will help perform all necessary tests and determine if the pivotal components are within resistances, need replacing due to age, or have reached the end of their lives. We perform the most appropriate Preventive Maintenance service when vehicles and equipment are in the shop for other reasons. During the preventive maintenance check, any vehicle systems or components that don’t work as they should, don’t conform to local or international regulations, or don’t meet OEM specifications, will be located and corrected as directed by the department contract manager. VFM performs required inspections on the equipment when it is at the repair facility, unless otherwise define by the client.
We review all Technical Service Bulletins that are applicable to the unit to determine if they need updates. The OEM merchant specifically performs essential services, or they are done during PM time.
When users, through PM, vehicles, or equipment break down, we repair them specifically. Given the age, mileage, and expense of periodic fleet maintenance, you should only carry out repairs that are absolutely vital.
