'Best Practices' Protect Fleet Assets
Compliance has moved from the fringes of commerce to the
top of management's priority list, a dramatic shift forced by
heightened social consciousness of safety, the environment,
corporate ethics and privacy.
Fleet managers, who in years past worried mostly about
government regulations, now must navigate a new wave
of complex laws, industry specifications, and the company's
own internal policies and standards. Failure to meet their
requirements has serious repercussions, often exposing
owners to high-risk consequences that include criminal
prosecution, civil litigation and loss of business.
ARI has the knowledge base, depth of successful experience
and resources to keep fleets operating in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local regulations, relevant
industry specifications, standards and practices, third-party
manufacturer warranties and disclaimers, as well as corporate
policies and performance standards. We make certain that
client fleets:
- Take advantage of performance efficiencies and
economies available through new technology and
best practices
- Remain strategically aligned with company
fleet goals
- Stay legally and safely on the road in support of the
company's mission
To ARI, compliance represents a requirement, but it's also a
resource for establishing best practices in fleet operations.
And best practices offer more than just keeping up with
regulatory, industry and corporate requirements. On a
strategic level, they protect and optimize vehicle assets,
delivering the highest lifecycle efficiency at the lowest cost.
The ABCs of PIE: Partners in Excellence® is a quality
assurance program that gives our employees the tools to
drive compliance and best practices into client fleet programs
and operations. It's the driving force that makes service
excellence systematic throughout ARI worldwide.
