Overview

Outsourcing or privatization of a fleet maintenance operation is a process that most organizations view as an all or nothing process. In some cases this is true. However, there are also many operations that are very efficient at specific services, such as preventative maintenance. In such instances an appropriate approach may be to outsource specific activities within an operation. However, if the decision is made to outsource a maintenance operation, there are numerous logistical and contractual pitfalls that must be considered that can result in unforeseen charges, financial liability, and unacceptable service. When done properly, outsourcing can potentially be a win – win situation. The fleet management consultants at Mercury Associates have assisted numerous public and private vehicle and equipment management organizations implement maintenance outsourcing and privatization programs.
