11/1/07 - Mercury is selected
by Chesterfield County, Virginia to assess the costs and
benefits of building new fleet and radio shop facilities versus
outsourcing these services. In this project we will determine the
County’s shop space needs and develop a projected development cost.
We will also conduct a competitiveness assessment of current fleet
and radio shop operations, compare the cost of in-house operations
to the private sector, and determine the feasibility of outsourcing
some or all services.
 Facility Design and Master Planning
Decisions about your
fleet operation’s physical facilities and locations are some of the
most important ones that you’ll make. A well-planned facility can
maximize your organization’s productivity, enable you to perform to
your peak potential in service delivery, help you control costs, and
increase your profit margins.
Mercury’s facilities planners are uniquely qualified to assist fleet
management organizations with designing new facilities and
remodeling existing ones. Our extensive knowledge of every phase of
fleet operations enables our consultants to make authoritative,
informed assessments of every aspect of the work you will perform in
a new facility. We translate those aspects into design parameters
that your architects can then incorporate into their plans.
Because our consultants assess each tactical issue that you
encounter, their recommendations enable the architect to develop
facilities that meet your needs today and that can accommodate
future growth.
For instance, our facilities programmers identify all the work and
service delivery as functions of the facility itself. They assess
and quantify factors like workflow and adjacencies, make workspace
and storage area allocations, and plan work area assignments that
make the facility run as efficiently as possible.
Competitiveness
Assessment
It’s easy to
underestimate just how complicated it is to manage your
organization’s fleet of vehicles. It’s also hard to appreciate the
full impact that a well-run fleet operation can have on your bottom
line and on your meeting business goals.
Mercury has assisted numerous organizations like yours understand
how well their fleet operations have performed. We can determine
whether your costs, service levels, and fleet productivity compare
favorably with those of competitors and of similar organizations. We
can also determine if you could be running any parts of the fleet
more efficiently or economically. |
