This is the Fleet Group, Inc new one of a kind VMRS Lookup Portal. This portal is intended to stream line the search process for VMRS coding. This Portal is subject to continuous improvement and development.
The first Lookup we developed for this portal is for the Part Component Code or VMRS Code Key 33. We are giving the user two ways to look the part up. The first by using Code Key and/or keyword searches using Code Key 31-System, 32-Assembly, and 33-Component. The Second way is to access a limited, but growing, parts number database with a part number search. If the part number is in our database, it will return the nine digit VMRS Component Code to the user.
VMRS CODING
If you have a part number that you are unable to find the correct code, contact us! We can do the work for you. For a Small administration fee of $3.00 per part number we will code them for you. If you have more then ten (10) part numbers to code or would like help scrubbing your parts master, please contact us for special pricing.
Code Key 33 - Component Code Lookup:
The 3 columns (top left) are designed to take either the 3 digit code or text to search for the proper code. This is the strength of this tool and is the intended way it is to be used. The VMRS code database is updated quarterly and was developed to help the user assign codes to Parts.
Saved Keyword Search:
This is used to find codes that you have bookmarked using the Add Keywords(s) button lower left on the form. This will allow you to bookmark codes that you use often by associating your company name or some other keyword with the component and/or assembly code to allow for fast access for searching.
Part Number Search:
The field found at the top right of the form is used to search by part number. This field draws from a limited database that is added to by the user with the "Add associated part #" button. Using the Part Number search is a good place to start, but you may not find the answer. That's when you use the three-column search on the left side of the form. The three-column search is the power of the Code Key 33 – Component Code Lookup.
The search by part number feature is updated if members take the time to add the information after they have found the answer using the three-column search. Please help build this database by adding part numbers once you have found the codes. When adding or searching parts numbers, remember, no spaces or special characters alphanumeric only.
VMRS stands for Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards. Developed by and for equipment users under the auspices of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC). These standards were established in 1970 as a universal language for fleets to develop a uniform record-keeping practice for equipment maintenance. The three most frequently cited advantages of the VMRS program are:
VMRS can also be used to track labor related costs, make budget writing easier, maximizing vehicle utilization, and in general, help fleet managers run their maintenance and repair facilities more efficiently.
VMRS Codes are endorsed by the TMC (Technology and Maintenance Council) as an industry recommended practice. If you are not familiar with TMC, we suggest you look them up using the above link and consider becoming a member and have a voice in the industry. |
