Investing in an FMMS is an excellent first step towards improving Fleet Performance and Reliability

FMMS

Investing in an FMMS (Fleet Maintenance Management Software) is an excellent first step towards improving fleet performance and reliability, reducing costs and increasing team performance. However, in order to achieve those improvements, you’ll need to know the top tracked FMMS KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

Not sure what you should be tracking? Here’s a quick look:

Safety: One of the most critical areas of focus for Fleet Managers is safety. You’ll need to track both vehicle and driver safety. Taking into consideration important issues including speeding incidents and citations, crashes (both major and minor), harsh acceleration, hard braking and issues handling corners that could damage the vehicle, trailer or both.

Efficiency: Efficiency monitoring is a vital consideration for Fleet Managers. You’ll need to track quite a few KPIs here, including vehicle fuel efficiency during active use and idling, how many empty kilometres are driven and utilisation of the asset at all times.

This gives you the full picture on efficiency for each vehicle, as well as clues to drivers of reduced efficiency (driver error, too many empty miles, limited utilisation etc.)

Compliance: Finally, you’ll need to track compliance with Government and Industry Regulations, including things like the number of hours driven per driver and vehicle, and any violations.

More FMMS

As you can see, there are quite a few KPIs that Fleet Managers should be tracking with their FMMS. We’ve touched on some of the most important above, but there may be others that bear on your specific business. The best idea is to generate a KPI Map that includes all the most pertinent areas of interest for your specific organisation, prior to rolling out your Fleet Maintenance Management Software suite. It’s also important to use the right software in the first place, to ensure access to accurate, real-time data.

Assetminder can deliver the insights you need; contact us today.

Regardless of the asset we have the solution. Assetminder can manage the entire life cycle from acquisition, depreciation to disposal, capturing all the costs and providing a comprehensive view of costs across the entire life of the asset.

Whether you deal with the assets themselves or the staffing and workflows around them, we believe Assetminder can help. We develop integrated software and hardware, as well as customised consulting services, for asset- and infrastructure-intensive organisations.

Our technology and services are designed to help organisations of all sizes manage and maintain their assets, including fleets, equipment and infrastructure, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Lost productivity is one problem of many problems Assetminder can solve. Another is undocumented use of maintenance inventory, including parts and consumables.

Many medium to small organisations don’t man their store rooms, so what often occurs is someone will grab a part with the intention of documenting what they took at a later stage, but they forget to record what they used and where they used it. This results in the inventory system thinking those items are still on the shelf, causing shortages (stock-outs) that can in turn lead to down time, when a necessary part is not available.

Through the reinforcement of processes, procedures and documentation, one can establish a culture of discipline across a maintenance organisation. If the FMMS work order system in place enables standardised, repeatable, and sometimes predictable processes it could prevent work from being missed or forgotten, document problems so they can be fixed, and ensure the usage of labour, parts or materials utilised are recorded.

Inside and Out

Only a single system like Assetminder can deliver an accurate and consistent view of all asset information—one version of the truth—insuring policies, plans and actions are based on an accurate understanding of the history and current status of your asset infrastructure.

In order to accomplish this, an FMMS Software Product must actually address all phases of the asset lifecycle, and not many do. It must also provide portals, or other methods, for outside parties, like engineering firms and maintenance contractors, to use the system so that everyone touching that assets data is interacting with a single database in real time. And by everyone, we mean people inside and outside the company.

As you plan maintenance work for the weeks and months ahead, if your contractors have visibility of your plans through your FMMS system, they can be informed of the upcoming work, schedule their people and ensure that they have the right tools and materials available.
