The first point of contact with any maintenance department is primarily the driver. The driver has the responsibility of recording the pre-trip and post-trip information. Doing this in a logical and standardized way can be a difficult task. Using VMRS can make these tasks much easier.
VMRS Code Key 82: Operator Vehicle/Equipment Condition Report lists driver descriptions of equipment symptoms though not necessarily what is actually at fault with the equipment. The codes are designed to capture information from drivers/operators for warranty/driver condition report administration. VMRS puts everyone involved in the maintenance process on the same page, like musical notes for an orchestra.
There are many parties involved in a single maintenance event leaving room for misinterpretation and mistakes. VMRS provides a standard method of linking all those involved in the repair process. The VMRS codes provide an essential method of recording and tracking parts and labor on any type of equipment.
