Members: Get a Free E-Book Focused On Fleet Utilization and Right-Sizing by Agile and NAFA

Agile Fleet, in cooperation with NAFA, released a comprehensive E-Book titled The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Fleet Utilization & Achieving a Right-Sized Fleet.

Free for NAFA members as a benefit of membership, the E-book was written by Ed Smith, President and CEO of Agile Fleet, and Kate Vigneau, CAFM^®, NAFA’s Director of Professional Development. It includes “how-to” guidance for completing a fleet utilization study as well as case studies and success stories from many public and private fleet managers.

“The subject of fleet utilization has always been a topic of great interest to fleet managers, and there is a need in the industry for a resource that addresses it in-depth; this book meets that objective,” says Vigneau. “In fact, several of the fleet managers featured in this eBook have earned their Certified Automotive Fleet Manager certifications from NAFA, demonstrating their mastery of these skills.”

“Our goal for this guide was to provide the ultimate resource to help organizations achieve the ‘holy grail’ of fleet management: a right-sized fleet," Smith added. "The size of a fleet directly impacts its ability to complete one’s mission, while clearly having a significant impact on an organization’s financial bottom-line. Too few vehicles and you can’t get work done, too many vehicles and you’re burning money needlessly. The key is to have the ‘right’ utilization when it comes to your fleet,” says Smith.

The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Fleet Utilization & Achieving a Right-Sized Fleet covers:

• Utilization basics:  Fleet utilization defined, and key metrics identified
• Fleet Utilization Studies:  Baselining, setting targets, affecting change, and continuous improvement
• The importance of fleet policy relative to utilization
• Discrete initiatives to consider that will improve fleet utilization
• How to disband department fleets to optimize utilization
• The role of telematics and GPS
• Resources, case studies, and tip sheets dedicated to the topic of fleet utilization
