Individual trucks — always, for every size of fleet: A Output. A daily record, truck by truck, using the simplest possible unit of measurement. Each separate truck must justify its own existence by the contribution it makes to the company's earnings. An idle truck is a drag on the profits.
B Costs. (i) Repairs. (ii) Tyres. (iii) Fuel. Groups of trucks. So far as possible a group will include only one size of one make in use at one depot.
A Output. Daily. A brief summary of the totals already calculated for all the separate trucks. Wherever practicable include also a comparison of the quantity of goods available for dispatch and a "failure mark" — the goods which should have gone out (or should have been collected) but the fleet failed to cope with them.
