Business told to prepare for Olympics traffic with effective engineer scheduling
Businesses that have fleets of vehicles using the roads around London on a regular basis are being urged to take measures now to ensure effective engineer scheduling to avoid problems during the 2012 Olympics.
Effective engineer scheduling will minimise disruption
Fleet managers have been told to put plans in place to minimise disruption that could be caused in the Capital in July and August next year. 30 July 2012 is expected to be one of the most congested days London’s roads have ever seen. In preparation, Transport for London (TfL) is suggesting a number of measures, including staggering working hours, which could be particularly useful for firms with a mobile workforce.
Engineer scheduling software
Having solid engineer scheduling software solutions in place in advance of the Olympics will certainly help companies to minimise disruption. Research recently commissioned by Trimble Fleet Solutions, suggests that most consumers cite customer service as their highest priority. This indicates that ensuring companies can offer ‘business as usual’ during the Olympics will be important.
A flexible approach to mobile workforce management will also prove useful, according to TfL, which suggests, rescheduling deliveries or engineer visits to the early mornings or late evenings in order to take the pressure off of the roads during traditional rush hours.
