Logistics and Supply ChainFleet Management Operations
A fleet is a capital asset, an operating cost and a safety exposure at the same time, and managing it well means holding all three together. This course covers that. Delegates work through vehicle selection and specification against duty, whole life costing and the replacement decision, and maintenance regimes including scheduled servicing, defect reporting and roadworthiness. Fuel management and the losses that fuel systems routinely conceal are covered in detail. Driver management, licensing, hours and behaviour receive their own treatment, alongside telematics and what it usefully measures. The course closes on compliance, accident management and the cost per kilometre that ties everything together.
