Outsourcing Yields Success

摘要

Fleet Master award winner for medium-sized fleets Sarasota County, Fla., outsourced its parts program and integrated hybrids into its fleet to cut costs and achieve other efficiencies. "To reduce parts and labor costs, and to improve parts availability, we outsourced our parts to NAPA/IBS in October 2011 and found significant reduction in costs," says Gregory Morris, CEM, fleet manager for Sarasota County. "I had experienced both in-house and outsourced parts operations; I wanted a fresh look from our staff to assist in reviewing parts store options to make the best decision for taxpayers."
