Best Practice Assessments

Our Best Practice Assessments examines up to sixteen (16) Fleet Management Activities as per our “Framework for Fleet Management Excellence”.

Fleet Management Health Check – A Health Check assessment examines an organizations fleet management practices at a high level and identifies areas for improvement.

Focussed Assessment – tightly focussed assessments of a single issue or opportunity in a fleet operation. Focussed assessments aim to answer the following types of questions:

  • When should we replace our fleet assets?
  • Are our workshop processes and practices efficient and effective?
  • Is our plant, vehicles and equipment being appropriately utilised?
  • How can we reduce costs or improve performance?
  • How can we improve compliance?

Comprehensive Best Practice Assessment – this type of assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the current state of a fleet operation’s operational activity.

Typically, the assessment consists of interviews with key stakeholders, a comprehensive evaluation of supporting documentation, and data analysis. Recommendations are strategic and operational and provide a clear roadmap for improvement.
