Key Highlights

• Importance of Availability: Steve emphasizes that availability is the "granddaddy of all metrics" in fleet management, as it directly affects the ability to complete missions and achieve goals.
• Initial Challenges: When Steve started, the client's fleet availability was in the low 80s. Over six months, his team raised it to 97% by revamping preventive maintenance programs and educating the team on the importance of availability.
• Engaging Stakeholders: Key to their success was engaging with stakeholders, understanding their needs, and ensuring they were informed about the fleet's status through weekly reports.
• Preventive Maintenance Compliance: Another crucial metric was on-time preventive maintenance compliance, which improved from 30% to over 90%, significantly reducing breakdowns and increasing availability.
• Cultural Change: The improvements fostered a positive shift in team culture, with increased recognition and morale as progress was made.
• Advice for New Fleet Managers: Steve advises new fleet managers to take their time to understand the data, engage stakeholders, and set realistic goals. He emphasizes the importance of weekly reports for tracking progress and identifying obstacles.
