  • Session 1, July 13: Vehicle Maintenance
    Maintenance management impacts all aspects of fleet management. Its decisions have the potential to affect not only the financial and safe operation of a fleet, but also the end user’s productivity. The fleet professional must have a clear understanding of this competency to make informed decisions and recommendations.
    Instructor: Raymond A. Brisby, CAFM
  • Session 2, July 18: Shop Operations & Inventory Management
    Operating an efficient and effective maintenance facility does not happen by chance. Fleet professionals must be able to establish policies and procedures that ensure vehicle safety while minimizing effective downtime and employing advantageous outsourcing opportunities. Inventory management is a critical contributing factor to the success of a maintenance facility.
    Instructor: Timothy Coxwell, CAFM
  • Session 3, July 20: Staffing & Outsourcing
    Optimizing shop operations includes right-sizing staff levels as well as ensuring their safety, proper training to meet the demands of evolving technology, and appropriate compensation. As a component of right sized staffing, some aspects of maintenance activities can and should be outsourced. The decision to outsource activities depends on numerous factors, but ultimately is determined by what is most effective and efficient.
