A good fleet service provider should come to you with new ideas and programs. How a program is communicated with you is as important as what is communicated. Analyze how each proposal can help you achieve your fleet and business goals. Be careful when adding programs that can cost more with little or no performance. Analyze them before adding them to your contract. Customers rely on fleet management to plan and budget for the exchange of facilities, explore options available to meet operational requirements, prepare specifications, obtain facilities and vehicles, conduct preventative maintenance, complete planned and unscheduled maintenance, and respond to ad hoc service requests. Understanding the level of service is important for managing the fleet`s resource lifecycle, as well as for other assets. They determine the types of assets made available, how often they are retained, when assets are sanitized or replaced, and how assets are divested. Before preparing for ALS, fleet management must have an ALS with the mechanical service provider for maintenance and response times plans for outages.
