Start with the due point.
Use the applicable manufacturer schedule, service history, mileage, time, oil life readings and engine hours where relevant. Vehicle usage determines which requirements apply.
The PM program / Maintenance planning
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
WORKABLE VISITS.
The fleet gets one plan. Every vehicle keeps its own requirements. We bring work together only when timing, access and availability line up.
PLAN / GROUP / REVIEWExample fleet / September to October 2026
Four vehicles. One shared yard.
02 site visits
Two vehicles share September 21. Two share October 12.
| Vehicle | 21 Sep | 25 Sep | 12 Oct | 16 Oct |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 VAN-01 | Service 21 Sep; required by 21 Sep | |||
 TRK-02 | Service 21 Sep; required by 25 Sep | |||
 VAN-03 | Service 12 Oct; required by 12 Oct | |||
 TRK-04 | Service 12 Oct; required by 16 Oct |
VAN-01 / due 21 SepTRK-02 / due 25 SepVAN-03 / due 12 OctTRK-04 / due 16 Oct
Two checks move four days earlier. Nothing moves late.
TRK-02 and TRK-04 join nearly due visits when earlier timing is agreed. The October vehicles stay in October.
Example dates only. Actual timing follows vehicle requirements, usage, current condition and suitable service arrangements.
The scheduling rule
GROUP THE WORK.
KEEP THE REQUIREMENT.
Find a window that fits.
Vehicles with similar needs and availability may share a visit. A nearly due service can move earlier when agreed; a due vehicle does not wait for the rest of the fleet.
Leave exceptions visible.
Vehicles in heavy use may need additional visits. Lightly used vehicles may not need the same work. New concerns and service warnings need their own assessment, outside the routine grouping plan.
Update the forecast.
Review current readings, completed work and changes in operation. A forecast is a planning tool; the applicable service requirements remain the limit.

A YEAR IN VIEW.
THE NEXT VISIT IN FOCUS.
The year gives the relationship a place to look ahead. It does not set a universal service interval or a fixed number of visits.
- AT THE START
Baseline and agreement
List the fleet, note existing needs and agree on scope, price and term.
- THROUGHOUT THE PLAN
Service and record
Coordinate upcoming work, write down what was completed and update the next due point.
- AT AGREED REVIEWS
Adjust and look ahead
Review usage, vehicle changes and the next period of maintenance together.
Visit efficiency is one part of a fleet quote.
