Do research before performing repairs
Schedule repairs based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards

10. PMI Basics
Mechanics should use proper forms/checklists to document inspections
Track inspections & repairs in detail so there are no assumptions

11. PMI Basics Ensure thorough & accurate documentation
If it didn’t get written down, it didn’t get done
Consistent, accurate information flow proves the vehicle is safe when it is put on the road
Files should be in audit-ready state at all times

12. Quality Assurance 10% “re-rack” of all internal repairs
For external repairs, maintenance manager/foreman reviews repairs & documentation regularly to ensure quality
Abide by OEM standards – NEVER cut corners
Just because you find a cheaper part doesn’t mean you save money in the long run

Thorough PMI results in better-performing fleets
Goal: All vehicles available for service at all times, with all equipment in good working order
