Mood:
Ours should be the leader of all Fleet Maintenance programs in the Country. Why does it seem like one of the worst ?
Three words for our upper managment.....Quality Control Program.
Why have we never had any kind of quality control program ? It would be nice to know how many roadfailures are due to poor maintenance.
A garage supervisor is not going to enforce any quality control when his manager is only concerned with out-of-service numbers, not at all on quality of repair. The mechanic is just there to do his 8 hours and go home, he doesn't care what happens to that bus after he clocks out, not his problem. Supervision at a Service Island ????? RIGHT !!
Most of them are just guys getting a free check.
(eliminating service island managers was a real smooth move by the way, that was tried before)
You wonder why the out of service numbers are so high.....It's because you don't have any Quality Control and no supervision.
Come out and check the buses at random sometime. See what you find. 90 percent out of service is what you would find if you get technical about it.
Quiz a mechanic or two, see what they know. Ask where the LC9 Starter Solenoid is on the G45.
Ask a Service Island Mechanic how to make a PO or check some of their RO's, if they are making any.
