  14. Chapter 5: Operational management Tasks and Responsibilities: comprises the day-to-day management of the physical, technical and human resources required to operate vehicle fleet: (Operators & Management) • Vehicle Operators: the key people responsible for the effective, safe, and economic operation of a vehicle. In this guide, VOs refer to both professional drivers and drivers who use vehicles to carry out official duties. Refer eg to next page.

  15. Task Responsibility • Level Frequency Post • Create, update, and publish the Vehicle Inventory All As needed TA • Create, update, and publish the Vehicle Information Sheet All As needed TA • Day-to-day operational management All Daily TO • Receive Period Movement Plans All Every period TO • Prepare Period Transport Schedules All Every period TO

  16. Chapter 5: Operational management • The VO is responsible for: • The Vehicle • Health and Safety • Vehicle Checks • Policy Support: using correct forms and documents;  being legally fit to drive and possessing a valid license;  keeping within the regulations of the trip authority;  not changing the authorized route; and  not carrying unauthorized passengers.

  17. Chapter 5: Operational management • 2. Management Roles: Itshows and list the roles and responsibilities in a TMS and thus helps determine an appropriate personnel structure for an operational management system. This table has two main columns: • Task: main operational management tasks. • Responsibilities: how tasks are assigned to the staff.

  18. Chapter 5: Operational management • Vehicle Planning: the Main Steps: Planning mechanisms and technical procedures for all vehicle use are necessary to ensure that vehicles are used in an efficient and cost-effective manner. • key responsibilities including: •  analyzing trip authorities’ forms in for authorization and correct recording of all trips; •  allocating vehicles to authorized personnel; •  negotiating with other managers who sign trip authorities for joint trips; and •  ensuring that procedures for the emergency use of vehicles are followed.

  19. Chapter 5: Operational management Vehicle planning follows a three-step process: • Period Movement Plan • Period Transport Schedule • Seven-day Transport Schedule

  20. Chapter 5: Operational management • Step 1: Period Movement Plan: Reporting periods are often monthly or quarterly • Step 2: Period Transport Schedule: it is used to allocate planned trips to specific vehicles. The Transport Officer uses data from the movement plans to prepare a period transport schedule • Step 3: Seven-day Transport Schedule: On the last day of the working week, the Transport Officer prepares the seven-day transport schedule

  21. Vehicle Planning: Other Procedures • Issue and Return of Vehicles:The vehicle check sheet is an important management tool that shows responsibility for the vehicle, and all documentation and equipment as it passes from one authorized user to another • Monitoring Results:At the end of each week and period, the TO compares actual transport movements with what was planned, noting everything that affected the schedule. They record successes and achievements as well as problems

  22. Chapter 6: Fleet management • Operational controls: Operational controls link staff management activities and vehicle management planning through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs):An SOP is simply a document that states how specific activities should be carried out. All SOPs should be kept in a file wherever vehicles are located and made accessible to all staff members. • The next page is a summary list of the specific types of SOPs. The size and complexity of an organization will determine exactly which SOPs are appropriate.

  23. Transport HR File: The transport HR policy establishes the personnel structure for all aspects of the transport management. Vehicle Usage Planning Policy: The vehicle usage planning policy defines clear guidelines for the procedures and responsibilities involved in vehicle planning and use 3.

  27. Chapter 6: Fleet management • Good management means making the best use of vehicles to meet a department’s priorities. • Specification, Selection, and Procurement of Vehicles are important from time to time • Maintenance and Repair of Vehicles: eg, • Schedule routine maintenance • Routine daily checks

  28. Planned Preventive Maintenance • Regardless of the age and quality of a fleet, PPM reduces overall running costs: • Daily Checks • Defect Identification report/ fleet audit report • Regular Servicing • Planning Service Schedules and Intervals • Managing the Maintenance Schedule

  29. VEHICLE RUNNING COST • Veh.Insurance =GH¢44,107.52 (5.70%) • Repair&maintenance=GH¢176,835.51 (22.86%) • Fuel =GH¢481,367.62 (62.22%) • Tyres =GH¢15,110.57 (1.95%) • Veh. Hire =GH¢41,646.40 (5.38%) • Other exp. =GH¢14,589.31 (1.89%) F08 TOTAL =GH¢773,656.93 FLEET SIZE =163 AVE. RUNNING COST= GH¢4746.36 AVE.R&M RATIO =GH¢1084.88

  30. VEHICLE RUNNING COST • SUMMARY Insurance= 5.70% R&m =22.86% Fuel =62.22% Tyres =1.95% Hire = 5.38% Others=1.89%

  31. VEHICLE RUNNING COST F06-F08

  32. Managing the Maintenance Schedule • Four information sources are used to manage vehicle maintenance and repair: • The vehicle defect report • The vehicle maintenance summary • The twelve-month planning schedule • The seven-day transport schedule

  33. Maintenance Options • There are three possible maintenance options: • In-house maintenance. • Outsourced maintenance. • Maintenance by a private contractor through a vehicle contract agreement

  34. Warranty on New Vehicles • All new vehicles will have a manufacturer’s warranty built into the purchase agreetment. This may include cost-free servicing (excluding consumables) for a defined period • Find out

  35. Chapter 7: Human resources management • Organizational Structure • Staff Management and Capacity • Organizational Charts • Person Specifications • Job Descriptions • Recruitment Processes • A Competent, Committed Workforce • Incentive Schemes • Staff Reviews:Vehicle Operator Assessment • Staff Development and Training • Locally Applied Guidelines

  36. Chapter 8: Policy and policy development • Policies vs. Procedures: Policies are principles that direct actions for achieving long-term goals. SOPs provide the instructions needed to implement and translate policy into action • Policy Structure for TMS • TMS Stakeholder Role In Policy Development and Review

  37. PART3: COSTING IN TRANSPORT OPERATIONS • Chapter 9: Financial management • Chapter 10: SHE Issues • Chapter 11: Monitoring and Evaluation: feedback system • Chapter 12: Third Party services providers: Is outsourcing an option? (make or buy options).

  38. Chapter 9: Financial management • Transport Costing: • The initial capital cost- vehicle purchasing cost • Depreciation- used to determine financing requirements at end of vehicle effective life-span • Fixed costs- including annual vehicle licenses, taxes, and insurance. • Variable costs- Running costs and Indirect costs • Human resource costs- Fixed costs, such as salaries and variable costs, like per diem

  39. Calculating Depreciation Cost • Formula Vehicle replacement cost ÷ economically viable life (km traveled) = depreciation cost (per km) • Example For a vehicle whose replacement cost is Ghc20,000, planned to travel between 100,000 to 250,000km • 20,000 ÷ 100,000 km = Ghc0.20 • 20,000 ÷ 150,000 km = Ghc0.13 • 20,000 ÷ 200,000 km = Ghc0.10 • 20,000 ÷ 250,000 km = Ghc0.08

  40. All-inclusive/km Costs Over Time

  41. Annual Budget and Core Financial Management • What to Include in the Budget • A trading account- an account dedicated to transport • Main Budget items: • Depreciation • Fuel • Repair & maintenance • Insurance • Tyres • Batteries • Other expenses

  42. Chapter 10: SHE Issues • SHE Issues are Safety, health and environmental issues- this is to avoid death and injury from traffic accidents as well as damage to the environment and property • Crash and Incident Procedures for Vehicles-theft, hijacking, vehicle losses, and damage: Report on the SOP forms immediately • Fuel and Other Storage • Asset Security and Transport Insurance • Workshops/ Garages

  43. Chapter 11: Monitoring and Evaluation • M &E is a feedback system, comparing the actual with the target plans and taking corrective actions to get back on track • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): • KPI 1—Distance Travelled=current odometer reading – prior odometer reading • KPI 2—Fuel Consumption =total distance travelled ÷ total fuel used • KPI 3 - Running Cost per Kilometre=( [quantity of fuel used x fuel price] + [maintenance cost + cost of tires] ) ÷ (total kilometres travelled) • KPI 4 – Availability % = ( [total days in the period - total days in the garage] ÷ [total days in the period] ) x 100 = availability (%) • KPI 5 – Use %= (total days used % ÷ total days available) x 100 • KPI 6 - Needs Satisfaction %= (number of trips made ÷ number of trip requests for official work received) x 100 • KPI 7 – Safety=number of crashes, incidents, or critical safety defects per vehicle

  44. KPI 2—Fuel Consumption

  45. Chapter 12: Third Party services providers: Is outsourcing an option? (make or buy options: • Outsourcing is when an organization contracts with an outside service provider to carry out tasks (usually non-core tasks) that were previously performed in-house. • Cost-benefit Analysis • Situational Analysis • Implementing Outsourcing: Financing, service provider reputation and availability, spare parts, etc.

  46. Transportation Management Cost Items: • Transportation Management Cost Items Costs to Outsource Current Internal Costs* Internal Costs to Achieve Desired Improvements •  Tendering  Contract management  Services  Contingency for poor performance  Capital Potential others  Infrastructure (i.e., furnishing vehicles or storage facilities to the service provider)  Severance pay and other costs related to staff lay-offs  Employee and administrative  Equipment, including maintenance  Buildings, including running costs  Fuel  Per diem and lodging for drivers and other traveling personnel Potential others  Inventory (when outsourcing inventory management
