TMC/DECISIV PARTS AND LABOR COST ANALYSIS REPORT
Parts and Labor Cost Analysis for the North American Commercial Vehicle Market Report

ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) is issuing to its fleet members an ongoing series of  benchmarking reports designed to track key performance indicators for commercial vehicle parts and labor based on the Council’s Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS), as prepared in partnership with Council member Decisiv. This will allow TMC member fleets to benchmark their overall parts and labor costs against actual costs captured in the Decisiv SRM platform.

 
The maintenance labor and parts data benchmarking report is organized by VMRS System Level Coding based on fleet and service provider data from hundreds of thousands of maintenance events that take place within the Decisiv platform. The report  tracks parts and labor expenditures and trends throughout North America, sorted by geographic location and dozens of VMRS-coded vehicle systems (e.g., brakes 013, tires 017, exhaust 043, etc.)
 
The TMC/Decisiv report, entitled “Parts and Labor Cost Analysis for the North American Commercial Vehicle Market” presents summaries compiled from more than 275,000 monthly service maintenance and repair events conducted across nearly 5,000 service locations in the U.S. and Canada.
