Enhancing Emergency Response Vehicle Fleet Maintenance: A Comprehensive Review

We provide expert asset management consulting services to help you optimise your operations.

OBJECTIVES

The Fleet Maintenance Review project aimed to assess the alignment of CFA's maintenance system with relevant documentation, evaluate the effectiveness of maintenance plans for Emergency Response Vehicles (ERVs), and determine asset management maturity. The objectives included identifying improvement opportunities, enhancing ERV fleet management, and improving availability across Victoria. The project achieved a better balance between maintenance cost, risk, and performance, validated outcomes, and contributed to improved ERV availability.

SOLUTIONS

Our solutions for the Fleet Maintenance Review project centered on providing expertise in asset management maturity assessment according to the Asset Management Accountability Framework (AMAF) and Institute of Asset Management (IAM) requirements. As 'red-team reviewers,' we conducted a comprehensive evaluation to ensure CFA received valuable asset management improvement opportunities. Our findings highlighted the need for enhancing maintenance strategies, reducing reliance on District Mechanical Officers (DMOs), and promoting a more systematic approach to maintenance planning.
