Supervised vehicles

This module is primarily created for the owners and top managers of a company. When the flow of information is overwhelming, it is very important to highlight the most important and focus on improvements. For example, a company has 40 pieces of equipment. The company puts the equipment out on lease and running expenses, in this case, are the prime cost. The company has adopted a policy of continuous improvement and every month a focus area for certain types of equipment is selected. For convenience, the company uses the “Supervised vehicles” module, where groups, according to vehicle types are created. Every month the monitored group changes and the improvement group receives notifications and other data only for the focus group. Not only do they keep actual records, but also learn in real time how to optimize the process. As a result – cost reduction with the same efficiency. After that, the finished model is picked up by the transportation department, and the top management moves to another group, not forgetting to track the selected indicators.

There are two ways to add supervision:

• 1. In a vehicle card  → “Supervise the vehicle”

СКРИНШОТ

• 2. Through object groups → Select a group → “Update groups”
