Read the first 7 Fleet Maintenance & Repair flashcards as text

  1. Which maintenance strategy involves replacing components based on condition monitoring data rather than fixed intervals?

    Answer: Predictive maintenance

    Predictive maintenance uses real-time condition data (vibration, oil analysis, telematics) to schedule repairs only when needed.

  2. A fleet manager notices that a specific vehicle model consistently requires brake pad replacement at 25,000 miles. This information is best used to:

    Answer: Establish a model-specific PM interval for brakes

    Historical repair data by make/model should be used to set tailored preventive maintenance intervals.

  3. What does OBD-II stand for in fleet vehicle diagnostics?

    Answer: On-Board Diagnostics, second generation

    OBD-II is the standardized on-board diagnostics system required on all US vehicles since 1996 that provides fault codes and sensor data.

  4. When evaluating a third-party repair vendor for fleet use, which criterion is MOST critical for cost control?

    Answer: Labor rate and parts markup transparency

    Transparent labor rates and parts markup policies directly determine repair costs and enable accurate vendor benchmarking.

  5. A 'first-time fix rate' KPI in fleet maintenance measures:

    Answer: How often a repair resolves the issue without a repeat visit for the same problem

    First-time fix rate tracks whether repairs are done correctly the first time, reflecting technician skill and diagnostic accuracy.

  6. Which fluid analysis test is most commonly used to detect internal engine wear in fleet vehicles?

    Answer: Spectrometric oil analysis (SOAP)

    Spectrometric oil analysis detects metal particles from worn engine components, enabling early identification of internal damage.

  7. What is the primary purpose of a warranty recovery program in a fleet maintenance operation?

    Answer: To recoup repair costs from manufacturers for defective parts or workmanship

    Warranty recovery programs systematically identify and file claims for repairs covered under manufacturer or extended warranties to reduce fleet costs.
