Description
Master the principles. Control the costs. Maximise fleet performance.
Modern fleet management goes beyond managing vehicles. It requires strategic planning, financial discipline, risk control and informed decision-making across the entire Vehicle Life Cycle, from procurement to disposal.
This practical course by Quantum Fleet Solutions introduces the ten key stages of fleet management: fleet policy, vehicle selection, procurement, financing, risk management, maintenance, fuel cost management, vehicle replacement, used vehicle remarketing, and administration, cost control, benchmarking and reporting.
Discover how to conduct fleet audits, evaluate operational requirements, manage driver and vehicle risks, control maintenance and fuel expenditure, assess financing options, monitor depreciation, and calculate total life-cycle costs and cents per kilometre (CPK).
The course emphasises a hands-on approach: effective fleet management demands that Fleet Managers understand their vehicles, drivers, operational requirements, costs and risks—not manage them remotely without reliable information and control.
By the end of this course, you will be better equipped to:
Understand and apply the ten stages of the fleet life cycle.
Identify cost-saving opportunities and improve vehicle utilisation.
Strengthen driver safety, risk management and policy compliance.
Analyse fleet expenditure, calculate CPK and benchmark performance.
Develop practical action plans for continuous improvement.
Ideal for aspiring and experienced Fleet Managers, fleet owners, business leaders and operations professionals seeking lower costs, safer operations, higher vehicle availability and sustainable fleet performance.
Who this course is for:
- The Business Owner who is concerned about cost containment and as such wants to be hands on in the daily Fleet Operations of his/ her business.
- Beginners and intermediate students who want to up-skill their knowledge base on the subject
- Fleet Manager who wants to have more control of his/her Fleet and make improvements. The Fleet Supervisor or aspiring Fleet Manager who wants to improve his /her skill base and expertise to bring about some operational efficiencies
- Seasoned professionals in various facets of the business like HR, Finance, Sales and Marketing, who because of their work naturally have an interest in fleet management
- This course is not for someone who wants an overnight solution to some serious challenges in their environments. Fleet Management is a developed discipline with principles and needs time, practice and application. However within weeks, if applied properly, you will start improving your operations, saving money and making a noticeable contribution in your environment
