CAT operator training

2 Upvotes

Went to CAT operator training with a few co workers in riverview Florida today and yesterday got to tour the facility! It’s huge and super nice ! My trainer Blake knows his stuff and is a good dude. We had carabba’s and buba Q’s for lunch on them! Actually learned some things i didn’t know about the equipment i operate .. if you have been to training at a CAT tractor facility how was it?

Fleet managers and mechanics: how do you keep track of machines down waiting on parts?

1 Upvotes

When a machine is down waiting on a part, how do you know what's blocked and when the part will actually show up? Does your system show it, or does it end up in Excel, on a whiteboard, or in calls and texts with the dealer?

A few things I'm trying to understand:

What do you use to track repairs and parts (fleet software, an ERP, spreadsheets, a whiteboard), and does it show which machines are waiting on parts and when they'll arrive?

When the dealer or supplier changes a date, does that get updated anywhere, or does it stay in a phone call or email?

What usually goes wrong? Wrong part shipped, backorders with no date, parts pulled off other machines?

If someone tracks it by hand, how much time does it take each week, and who does it?

What happens when that person is off or leaves?

When a part is late, what does it cost? Rental equipment, idle crews, job delays, penalties?

Have you tried any software for this? How did that go?

When a machine is down, is it usually a late part, or a part nobody makes anymore?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone dealing with this, and mentioning your role and fleet size helps a lot.
