 Introduction

Fleet and transport management is the process of managing a company’s vehicles and transportation systems. It involves managing the fleet from purchase to the end of its useful life. Fleet vehicles comprise of all the transport vehicles owned by a company, government,
agency or other business. Sometimes, the vehicles are leased to the transport companies for the movement of goods to customer. Fleet and transport management includes many functions, including vehicle finance and maintenance, vehicle tracking and tracing, driver management as well as fuel and health and safety management. These days, various software applications are helping trace and manage these functions seamlessly. 

The Fleet Manager is responsible for planning, directing, managing, coordinating and supervising the programs for acquisition, assignment, utilization, maintenance, repair, replacement and disposal of fleet vehicles. Fleet manager also serves as the primary contact concerning the vehicle fleet and operations.

This workshop promises to walk the participants through the nitty-gritty of fleet and transport management.
