Fleet Procedure Manuals
Message from Superintendent:
For most government agencies, fleet/equipment services impact the delivery and cost of nearly every service provided to the public, impact the productivity of nearly every employee, support emergency services making the difference between life and death, and support the maintenance of infrastructure which helps support local economy, and quality of life.
The main goal of the department is to maintain City.s fleet so that it is always available for the work performed by various departments and in keeping downtime to a minimum. By keeping a good preventative maintenance program we can accomplish our mission while preserving City of Milwaukee.s major capital investment in fleet.
The purpose of this PM manual is to annually document our program and reflect any changes and upgrades to the program.
Preventative Maintenance (PM) program consists of scheduling periodic lubrication, inspection and tune ups based on time, mileage, engine hours, or gallons of fuel used. If PM services are not performed on a scheduled basis, safety, useful life of a vehicle or productivity could be compromised.
Vehicle technologies have advanced considerably, such as the use of electronic control modules (ECM) to control engine timing or fuel injection systems, anti-lock brakes, and airflow . sensors, evaporative emissions controllers, etc. Vehicles are no longer just mechanical machines but incorporate a variety of Electronic equipment. Today.s mechanic must be skilled and knowledgeable in the use of electronic measurement and diagnostic equipment to perform a variety of tests and adjustments during the periodic preventative maintenance to keep the equipment operating safely and efficiently while reducing downtime, optimizing fuel use and help employees work efficiently.
As Superintendent, I take great pride in our highly skilled vehicle technicians and other talented individuals operating behind the scenes, providing proficient fleet repairs and maintenance services for the City of Milwaukee.
