Continuous ImprovementPenske's preventive maintenance services are professional and standardized. Vehicles follow proactive maintenance schedules based on extensive knowledge and best practices from original equipment manufacturers and other Penske customers.Before Penske, the Foundation had limited understanding of maintenance costs. Penske's initial reporting uncovered that the largest cost of bus maintenance was related to the engine, not the air conditioning and handicap lifts as was previously thought. With this knowledge the Foundation can make informed fleet replenishment decisions and coach drivers on best practices to help extend vehicle life. A Successful PartnershipSince 2000, Penske has maintained The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's fleet. Penske's proven maintenance program and seamless development of the new facility confirmed that the Foundation made the right choice. The new facility exceeded the goals of accommodating all service needs for a diverse vehicle fleet, and providing services to tour bus operators.Collectively, Penske's services aid the Foundation's efforts to reduce the average age of its fleet and lower overall costs. The partnership continues to grow as the Foundation and Penske work together on continuous improvement projects such as customized user-friendly, on-demand reporting. |
