What are the three sources of motivation of a fleet manager, to standardize or homogenize its park?

For a manager, before any action, he must evaluate his needs:

The mode of transport :

1/Persons ? ;2/materials ? ; In what proportions ?

-          What type of vehicle do you need? Is it adapted to the needs identified and the land?

-          Materials needs (to determine vehicle and equipment requirements)

-          Human need (recruiting and training qualified persons mechanics and drivers for monitoring and maintenance of the equipment)

The manager's three sources of motivation are :

1/ Assessment of the situation of the fleet and define possible solutions

-          Evaluation of the road (road infrastructure studies)

-          Assessment of flows (the cost of the financial’s transaction

-          Evaluation of technical constraints (monitoring and maintenance)

-          Evaluation of the operational constraints of the Organisation (Administrative management: HR, maintenance contracts and technical inspections of vehicles)

2/ Implementation of the choice analysis criteria defined

-          Analysis of the infrastructures for better adaptation (paved road; dirt track; track is depressed; sand; muddy terrain; rocky terrain)

-          Cost analysis (human and material; purchase of new vehicles in local or international /maintenance of parts exchanges)

-          Technical analysis of constraints: (Efficient use of means of transport and adapted to the types of terrain)

-          Operational and organizational analysis (manage HR, training, authorizations, administrative documents and contracts)

3/ Involvement of actors and stakeholders

-          Involvement of actors and stakeholders to driver involvement in the day-to-day management of their function vehicles (oil level control, coolant and vehicle condition)

-          Stakeholder involvement Mechanics and suppliers of exchange parts

-          Involvement in the management of all the actors in using efficiently of the vehicles by lessening the risks

The three types of interventions are advantages and success keys for the manager who motivates him to standardize his fleet.

1-      vehicles better suited to the needs of the best prices

2-     Simplification of staff training and maintenance

3-      Best knowledge of equipment

4-     Reduced and standardized spares Stocks

5-      Best delivery times, for new Parts and Vehicles

6-     Reduction of technical document flows

7-      Economic and cost-effective management for employers
