PROGRAM TOPICS THE WHOLE OF LIFE COST CALCULATOR DAY 3 For many within the fleet profession the biggest challenge when purchasing new vehicles is often determining the whole of life costs associated with these investments. Is it better to pay a larger cost upfront or is it worth considering a cheaper option now and investing for down the track? Should you sell your vehicles now or hold on them to for another 12 or 24 months for a better return? Many factors contribute to the whole of life cost of a vehicle. These include the vehicle’s fuel consumption, cost of fuel, kilometres travelled each year, maintenance/repair costs, tyre cost, roadside assistance, fringe benefits tax, insurance, insurance excess, remarketing costs, decommissioning costs, interest/notional interest on capital cost of vehicle and vehicle amortisation (difference between purchase price and residual/sale value). The Whole of Life Cost Calculator will provide you and your organisation with the total lifecycle cost of the vehicle represented as total cost, cost per month or year and cents per kilometre. This cost can then be used to accurately compare different vehicles or to analyse different scenarios for the same vehicle. Further, you can create a sub asset for a service body that might have a longer effective life and therefore different residual %. BREAKOUT SESSION The impact of fatigue on the transport task SPEAKER Phillip Brooks, Chief Inspector – Stakeholder Relations Manager NSW Police Key Benefits: • Compare up to 4 different vehicles or same vehicle with 4 scenario’s side by side What is fatigue, how does it add to the risk of being involved in a collision and how do we manage it? • Includes the use of RedBook’s Future Price Ahead to assist with residual setting The facts are both surprising and disturbing. Fatigue has proven to be difficult to measure but its impact on a person’s ability to drive safely has been the subject of a number of studies with concerning results. • Calculate your FBT obligations based on the statutory method and ability to include driver contributions The presentation will focus on the impact of fatigue on all aspects of the transport task, from the steering wheel to the board room. • Export your data easily in the widely used CSV file format • The results include ANCAP and Green Vehicle Guide ratings • Plan your future fleet purchases more efficiently and effectively • Consider the differences between leasing vs an outright purchase What is AfMA? The Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) is a member based, not-for-profit peak industry body operating throughout Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. The Whole of Life Cost Calculator is just one of many free resources and tools supplied to all active members of the Australasian Fleet Management Association. Different membership packages are available to suit organisations of all shapes and sizes. The most general factors that cause fatigue are lack of sleep, bad quality sleep and sleep demands induced by the internal body clock. Besides these general factors, prolonged driving (time-on-task) can increase driver fatigue, especially when drivers do not take sufficient breaks. AfMA’s membership base is represented across all industries and levels of government and is responsible for the management of many hundreds of thousands fleet vehicles. Our charter is to promote Fleet Management as a profession in its own right, to provide knowledge, information and resources to our Members and to lobby and advocate on behalf of the fleet industry, put simply LINKING PEOPLE & KNOWLEDGE, CREATING OUTCOMES.
