"WHAT YOU DON'T SEE, CAN'T HURT YOU"

First, we take a comprehensive look at your operation before we make any recommendations.  Our goal is a Fleet Audit Report that helps us quantify your materials handling costs.  During the audit we...

• tour your facility and observe your materials handling vehicle operations
• identify the fleet profile and establish responsibilities for vehicles
• interview managers, supervisors and drivers
• evaluate maintenance and repair procedures
• calculate in-house mobile equipment utilization
• audit total fleet costs
• assess drivers and maintenance skills
• evaluate administrative procedures

• change to planned maintenance programs based on measured vehicle use
• improve productivity with driver and maintenance training
• reduce parts inventory costs by "single sourcing"
• improve flow within your physical environment

3.  RE-ENGINEERING THE FLEET

We'll help you get better control of your entire materials handling.  These changes drive down costs of the fleet already in operation...

• improve individual vehicle applications
• standardize the fleet fuel source, attachments and parts sourcing
• evaluate complementary handling equipment
• project "economic life" of your vehicles
• provide innovative acquisition programs
