About this title

Fleet Maintenance is a highly-developed and unique type of maintenance. Because of the large number of similar units, repair data can be analyzed with statistical tools, and there is a high degree of specialization. This book fits in to explain the basics of the field to either a person new to the field or someone new to management of fleets. It takes a soup to nuts approach from specification, acquisition, operating and maintenance and salvage of mobile equipment. It is also a great review for old-timers.

Of course, the focus is on maintenance. Basics of Fleet Maintenance discusses all aspects of maintenance, including preventive maintenance, worker productivity, loss prevention, shop design, planning and scheduling, vendors, fuel, tire management, leasing and much more. If your organization is any way involved with a fleet, whether through delivery vehicles, service vehicles, rail cars, reefer units, construction equipment, etc., you will find this book fascinating!

With questionnaires, assessments and case studies, Basics of Fleet Maintenance contains the information you need to understand the drivers (no pun intended) of costs and decision-making while managing your fleet safely, effectively and reliably.

Excellent for:

• Fleet Maintenance training text
• Training new managers and supervisors
• People installing computer software
• Reference with full index
