| Abstract | The purpose of this monograph is to demonstrate principles, methods, and techniques that should permit the better management of bus fleets through the systematic use of maintenance records and data. The materials presented are intended to assist the fleet manager in creating a firm structure to plan, evaluate, and control fleet maintenance performance. Bus Fleet Management Principles and Techniques covers: 1) An outline of fundamental management functions defined in a fleet management framework; 2) A planning strategy for the systematic development and structuring of maintenance management information; 3) Instructions for the development of maintenance data collection systems, particularly the collection of maintenance labor performance information; 4) A discussion of a framework for the development of fleet performance measurement; 5) Instructions on the use of Life Cycle Costing in equipment procurement and replacement analysis; and 6) A discussion of a national bus fleet management data, information, and knowledge exchange. The monograph contains examples of several of the strategies illustrated through case studies at the Wichita, Kansas Metropolitan Transit Authority. |
