THE CHALLENGE
The manufacturing industry has been through a significant period of change over the past few years. The most recent economic downturn has led many manufacturers to re-think their business strategies to look for ways to streamline supply chain operations and reduce costs across the board.
But as employee turnover rates continue to rise and the pressure to adhere to compliance standards increases, fleet management efforts can become secondary, putting significant strain on resources, causing much more than just monetary damage.
That is why Access has designed solutions to…

Supported Operator Procedures
Maintaining streamlined maintenance and vehicle operation procedures with a constantly rotating staff introduces a new set of costs and challenges for manufacturing centers. As new operators are added, the risk of operator and vehicle incidents increases significantly. Taking proactive steps to avoid these incidents can save you thousands on maintenance and operator costs.
Usage-Based Maintenance Schedules
When servicing vehicles based off of actual usage, you can avoid over or under servicing vehicles, eliminating the guesswork especially for someone who may be unfamiliar to that vehicle.
GPS Task Tracking
Optimized processes require proper planning. Using GPS data to determine typical task times and patterns allows you to more effectively distribute your personnel and equipment to keep operations running smoothly.
Automatic Hour Meter Readings
Let your maintenance staff focus solely on maintenance needs. By eliminating manual hour meter data entry, your maintenance resources can be reallocated to other areas that demand more immediate attention.
Streamlined Compliance Efforts
With the added pressure for manufacturers to adhere to OSHA and other government compliance standards, employees can be pulled away from other processes, allocating them towards compliance efforts. By streamlining those efforts, you can keep your personnel on other operational tasks, never impacting productivity.
OSHA Compliant Safety Checklist
Enforcing a safety checklist to be completed before using equipment empowers operators to be more aware of the equipment they are operating while eliminating the risk of operating a damaged vehicle.
Equipment Access Control
Limiting who has access to equipment prevents unnecessary damages and injuries caused by untrained or unauthorized users.
Simplified Fleet Management Efforts
One of manufacturing’s largest costs is mobile assets. With acquisition costs only being a fraction of the total cost of ownership, poor maintenance, damages, and improper use can all contribute to significant increases in the overall cost of ownership. By implementing a system to better maintain and manage your fleet, you can drastically decrease your cost of ownership while also improving operational efforts.
Collision and Impact Reports
Catching damages quicker can significantly reduce the long term effects they will have on your equipment. Daily system checks detect unscheduled maintenance needs, instantly notifying technicians so further damage is avoided and equipment downtime is reduced.
Daily Equipment Vital Checks
Your equipment operates best when its vitals are properly maintained. Knowing up-to-date equipment stats like fluid, fuel and tire pressure levels allow you to be more informed about the status of your equipment’s health so you can make adjustments to promote longer equipment lifetimes.
Fleet Operational Analysis
Translating usage data into actionable changes is the most important step in streamlining operational efforts, but can also be the most challenging. To ensure you are successful at implementing the necessary changes that can impact your bottom line, we provide complimentary fleet analyses, providing you with clear steps to maximize your operational efficiency.
