Here's what fleet departments across the nation are doing that other operations can learn from and adapt for their own use.
Government Fleet often shares programs and initiatives that lead to great success, but those ideas often require significant investments in time or money. Here, we turn to the smaller ideas that are simpler and easier to implement.
The Napa County (Calif.) fleet team worked with management, the school district, and a local teacher to introduce government fleets to auto shop students.
All public sector fleet professionals are invited to submit an idea that has improved efficiency in the fleet operation, whether it's in the shop, on the field, or before vehicles are even purchased.
Fleet managers from 11 fleets across the country share the ways they have increased efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction through small changes to their operation.
Small changes can sometimes make a big difference within fleet operations. Fleet professionals share the improvements they’ve made to their own fleets, the results, and how others can do the same.
Effective uses of technology include a keyless internal work order system, online auctions, and walkie-talkies to replace traditional radio systems.
San Antonio Water Systems completed quality of life initiatives to increase staff productivity. Other government fleets used a training matrix, created learning and networking opportunities, installed internet in shop waiting areas, and started a youth internship program.
In-house emissions testing can cut vehicle downtime, while recycling scrap metal and used oil can help cover shop expenses.
Disaster preparation, quality inspection, bumper stickers, and cutting lead from operations are just some ways these fleets ensure safety.
