Presentation
Fleet maintenance is crucial to vehicle safety, reliability and longevity. It encompasses routine servicing, such as oil changes and roadworthiness inspections, preventive maintenance, including replacement of wearing parts, and corrective maintenance to repair faults. Effective maintenance management helps minimise operating costs, reduce vehicle downtime and ensure compliance with environmental and safety standards.
This intensive 2-day course is designed to strengthen your light- and heavy-vehicle fleet management skills. You will learn to optimise the entire vehicle life cycle, from use to replacement, integrating rigorous maintenance management to control costs and significantly reduce downtime.
The program covers fleet sizing and key performance indicators (KPIs), integrated management tools such as ERP, computerised maintenance management and geolocation, and leadership of dedicated teams. It is intended for logistics professionals, project managers and anyone seeking fleet management skills. Lessons include practical case studies and assessments to validate learning. This hands-on approach develops operational expertise to meet the needs of an effective vehicle fleet.
Objectives
By the end of this vehicle maintenance and fleet management course, you will be able to:
- streamline and monitor fleet management to optimise equipment use, maintenance and replacement;
- size a vehicle fleet appropriately;
- produce fleet key performance indicators (KPIs);
- establish a rational, controlled management system;
- lead and strengthen the team responsible for the fleet;
- meet operational needs and manage fleet availability.
Program
Module 1: sizing and optimising a vehicle fleet
- Analysing vehicle use, maintenance and replacement challenges in the operational context.
- Understanding how a vehicle fleet operates.
- Applying appropriate management standards.
- Strategies for rationalising fleet expenditure.
- Defining relevant vehicle acquisition criteria, including financing options such as purchase, long-term rental and leasing, and their implications.
- Energy transition challenges, including electric and hybrid vehicles, and their implications for costs, infrastructure and maintenance.
- Fleet management regulatory considerations, including insurance and roadworthiness inspections.
Module 2: implementing key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Defining and explaining 7 vehicle fleet management KPIs suited to the specific context:
- vehicle utilisation rate;
- total cost of ownership (TCO);
- availability rate;
- fuel/energy consumption;
- accident rate;
- maintenance cost per vehicle;
- CO2 emissions.
- Implementing tools and methods for monitoring and analysing these indicators.
Module 3: managing the fleet with integrated tools
- Using enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for fleet management.
- Using geolocation features to optimise vehicle utilisation.
- Computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) for effective preventive maintenance.
- Integrating energy transition data into management tools: energy consumption monitoring, charging station management and more.
Module 4: leading and managing the fleet team
- Defining the fleet management team's roles, responsibilities and organisation.
- Recruiting operators and maintenance technicians and managing their competencies.
Module 5: managing and planning equipment use
- Communication strategies with operational teams to support shared, collective responsibility.
- Using shared management tools for better coordination.
- Methods for optimising travel according to operational needs.
- Energy transition considerations in journey planning, including route optimisation around charging stations.
- Incorporating regulatory requirements into equipment planning and use.
