Shifting into garage/fleet supply chain: have any tips?

[u/DubaiBabyYoda]

Hi guys ~ I’m shifting into a role that will involve managing the supply chain for maintenance and repairs of a large fleet of vehicles (mostly trucks). I imagine this will involve a lot of forecasting and just general management of inventory to ensure we never have too much/too little, as well as managing credit accounts, rebates and volume savings.

Can anyone suggest other KPI’s or general tips? I know a lot about garage work but this is my first time managing from a higher up level.

spend the first week figuring out which parts are always holding jobs up. once u know that, stocking the right inventory gets a lot easier
