Fleet Management
Overview
LOGIS’s Management Information System (MIS) solution for
Public Works departments is the FleetAnywhere application from
the MAXIMUS Corporation. FleetAnywhere is a PC-based, client/server
application that has all the tracking and analysis capabilities
required for managers of equipment and shop operations to make
efficient and effective decisions based on complete and accurate data
about equipment, costs, manpower, and inventories.
Equipment Management and Tracking
FleetAnywhere maintains a comprehensive
inventory of all your equipment, including required identification
and descriptive data for each unit plus a great deal of optional
descriptive and classification data. An interactive work order
capability records labor, parts, and commercial charges. You can have
as many work orders open at the same time for a unit as you need to
fully describe the work. Complete repair and preventative maintenance
(PM) history data are available on-line for the life of each unit.
Automated PM scheduling and monitoring for all units ensure
well-maintained equipment. Usage tracking allows you to collect data
such as number of miles/engine hours driven and days or hours of use.
Cost
Analysis
FleetAnywhere reports costs in many
levels of detail on its pre-defined reports. (It also has a
full-featured report generator for customized reports.) FleetAnywhere
tracks costs by type (fuel, oil, miscellaneous, repairs, PM, labor,
parts, depreciation, and fixed monthly expenses); by PM service type;
by repair group and repair task; and by repair cause. All these
categories help you determine whether the costs are reasonable and
why they were incurred. User-defined standards for fuel and oil
consumption, repair and preventative maintenance costs, labor
performance, etc. allow you to quickly pinpoint “problem” areas and
resolve them.
Inventory Management
FleetAnywhere not only tracks and reports on
inventory usage of parts and consumables (fuel, oil, etc.) but also
provides management reporting for purchasing, replacement, and
security. Parts control provides an on-line display of parts lists,
stock status, parts below reorder point, etc. To maximize the
effectiveness of purchasing, FleetAnywhere provides automatic
calculation and monitoring of economic order quantities, reorder
points, and safety stock levels. FleetAnywhere also contains
interfaces for most major fuel dispensing systems (as well as the
ability to easily develop new interfaces). Fuel tickets do not need
to be re-entered into FleetAnywhere from the fuel dispensing system.
