Chapter 5: Operational management Vehicle planning follows a three-step process: • Period Movement Plan • Period Transport Schedule • Seven-day Transport Schedule 19
Chapter 5: Operational management • Step 1: Period Movement Plan: Reporting periods are often monthly or quarterly • Step 2: Period Transport Schedule: it is used to allocate planned trips to specific vehicles. The Transport Officer uses data from the movement plans to prepare a period transport schedule • Step 3: Seven-day Transport Schedule: On the last day of the working week, the Transport Officer prepares the seven-day 20 transport schedule
Vehicle Planning: Other Procedures • Issue and Return of Vehicles: The vehicle check sheet is an important management tool that shows responsibility for the vehicle, and all documentation and equipment as it passes from one authorized user to another • Monitoring Results: At the end of each week and period, the TO compares actual transport movements with what was planned, noting everything that affected the schedule. They record successes and achievements as well as problems 21
Chapter 6: Fleet management • Operational controls: Operational controls link staff management activities and vehicle management planning through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): An SOP is simply a document that states how specific activities should be carried out. All SOPs should be kept in a file wherever vehicles are located and made accessible to all staff members. • The next page is a summary list of the specific types of SOPs.

Chapter 9: Financial management 1. Transport Costing: • The initial capital cost- vehicle purchasing cost • Depreciation- used to determine financing requirements at end of vehicle effective life-span • Fixed costs- including annual vehicle licenses, taxes, and insurance. • Variable costs- Running costs and Indirect costs • Human resource costs- Fixed costs, such as salaries and variable costs, like per diem 38
Calculating Depreciation Cost • Formula Vehicle replacement cost ÷ economically viable life (km traveled) = depreciation cost (per km) • Example For a vehicle whose replacement cost is Ghc 20, 000, planned to travel between 100, 000 to 250, 000 km • 20, 000 ÷ 100, 000 km = Ghc 0. 20 • 20, 000 ÷ 150, 000 km = Ghc 0. 13 • 20, 000 ÷ 200, 000 km = Ghc 0. 10 • 20, 000 ÷ 250, 000 km = Ghc 0. 08 39
All-inclusive/km Costs Over Time 40
Annual Budget and Core Financial Management 1. What to Include in the Budget 2. A trading account- an account dedicated to transport 3. Main Budget items: • • Depreciation Fuel Repair & maintenance Insurance Tyres Batteries Other expenses 41
Chapter 10: SHE Issues • SHE Issues are Safety, health and environmental issues- this is to avoid death and injury from traffic accidents as well as damage to the environment and property • Crash and Incident Procedures for Vehiclestheft, hijacking, vehicle losses, and damage: Report on the SOP forms immediately • Fuel and Other Storage • Asset Security and Transport Insurance • Workshops/ Garages 42
Chapter 11: Monitoring and Evaluation • M &E is a feedback system, comparing the actual with the target plans and taking corrective actions to get back on track • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): • • KPI 1—Distance Travelled= current odometer reading – prior odometer reading KPI 2—Fuel Consumption =total distance travelled ÷ total fuel used • KPI 3 - Running Cost per Kilometre= ( [quantity of fuel used x fuel price] + [maintenance cost + cost of tires] ) ÷ (total kilometres travelled) • KPI 4 – Availability % = ( [total days in the period - total days in the garage] ÷ [total • • days in the period] ) x 100 = availability (%) KPI 5 – Use %= (total days used % ÷ total days available) x 100 KPI 6 - Needs Satisfaction %= (number of trips made ÷ number of trip requests for official work received) x 100 • KPI 7 – Safety= number of crashes, incidents, or critical safety defects per 43 vehicle
KPI 2—Fuel Consumption 44
Chapter 12: Third Party services providers: Is outsourcing an option? (make or buy options: • Outsourcing is when an organization contracts with an outside service provider to carry out tasks (usually non-core tasks) that were previously performed in-house. • Cost-benefit Analysis • Situational Analysis • Implementing Outsourcing: Financing, service provider reputation and availability, spare parts, etc. 45
Transportation Management Cost Items: • Transportation Management Cost Items Costs to Outsource Current Internal Costs* Internal Costs to Achieve Desired Improvements • Tendering Contract management Services Contingency for poor performance Capital Potential others Infrastructure (i. e. , furnishing vehicles or storage facilities to the service provider) Severance pay and other costs related to staff lay-offs Employee and administrative Equipment, including maintenance Buildings, including running costs Fuel Per diem and lodging for drivers and other traveling personnel Potential others Inventory (when outsourcing inventory management 46
