Scania Fleet Management : Scania allows fleet operators to monitor vehicle and driver performance to help achieve fuel economy

Tweet

The revolutionary Scania Fleet Management Services was launched last March 9, 2017 held at the Scania Showroom, 1132 EDSA Balintawak, Quezon City.

Scania lets operators take control of their fleet with the revolutionary Fleet Management System. Scania Fleet Management is a set of services that connects the vehicles to one’s office. The service helps identify and use the key details needed such as vehicle data, fuel consumption, fleet position and driver performance (coasting, heavy braking, speeding or idling) that will help increase the productivity of the fleet, achieve fuel economy and eventually reduce the cost of operations. It puts clear and useful information that helps operators better understand how their fleet is performing and what is costing money.

“The good news is all new Scania trucks that are being sold in the country come pre- installed with the Scania Communicator telematics unit. This device regularly collects, saves, sends and receives information for analysis and presentation on the Scania Fleet Management portal or through the Scania Fleet Management app that can be downloaded for free. Operators just need to activate the service in order for them to be able to connect to their fleet’s data,” said Leilani Lim-Tan, Vice President of BJ Mercantile, Inc., the local distributor of Scania.

Scania Fleet Management consists of two different service packages: Monitoring and Control.

Monitoring Package

The Scania Fleet Management Monitoring Package is an easy-to-use service that puts operators on the right track to improving their fleet economy – even for small fleets. They will receive weekly email summaries covering all of their vehicles on vital information such as Fuel Consumption, Carbon Dioxide Emissions and driving behaviors. From these they can see at a glance how each vehicle is performing and which ones need special attention.

They can also access the Scania Fleet Management portal to manage their service planning. Service Planning and Remote Diagnostics provides an overview of all the equipment in the fleet, along with their maintenance plans, including a calendar for keeping track of maintenance and repairs. When a vehicle is scheduled for repair through the FMS portal, parts for replacement can already be prepared in advance thereby reducing downtime. The workshop only uses Scania genuine parts to lessen breakdown risks.

Control Package

The Control Package is an advanced set of services that help fleet owners utilize vehicle and driver follow- ups and operational information to support their transport process. Apart from the benefits of the Monitoring Package, they can also access additional useful information and functions including Driver Evaluation, Vehicle Evaluation, Fuel Report, Events Report, Vehicle Tracking, Fleet Position, Environmental Report and a Messaging Service for quick and easy communication.

Scania Driver Services

A good driving style saves fuel, reduces vehicle wear and helps prevent accidents on the road boosting road safety and reducing vehicle downtime. Scania offers a driver training program to show drivers how to drive more economically and more safely which in turn have a positive impact on profitability and have a significant on reducing emissions. And with the Driver Evaluation function of the Control Package, operators can regularly check on their drivers’ driving style to identify areas of improvement.

Satisfied Clients

The Scania Fleet Management System is already being used by a number of fleet operators in the country.

“The Scania system gives you more in-depth knowledge of your vehicles and driver performance,” said Mr. Benzon Rosete, Managing Director, Best Geo-Carrier.

“The fuel performance per vehicle is very useful to us especially with regards to the handling of the vehicle's transmission, the active detection of vehicle problems/faults, maintenance notifications as well as real-time monitoring of their fuel load and other parameters crucial in a journey. The driver performance data helps us assess driver skills as well as set benchmarks and gauge driver performance across our entire fleet. Scania Driver support is being used together with our Driver Management Team to coach drivers in the way they handle our Scania vehicles,” said Mr. Luigi Teola, Technical Manager, Great Sierra Development Corporation.

Dystocia (Difficulty in Mother's Labor) Forum hosted by ManilaMed

Tweet

Hospitals and healthcare institution provides patient treatment with specialized medical and nursing staff and medical equipment. Hospitals adopt strategies to address challenges or proactively reinforce their values, and will make waves in their healthcare.  Medical staff and doctors who are eminent in their areas of specialty always do research and always teach staff, nurses, and medical students more.

* ManilaMed

ManilaMed values the good of every patient before anything else. This is why ManilaMed strives to equip them with only state-of-the-art medical equipment and the country’s top healing professionals, still with compassionate healthcare at their very core. 

What touches more my heart about ManilaMed is their creed, “For every person who walks through our doors we promise nothing but our very best – all in the interest of making them feel better." From this, I concluded to myself that they’re not just a typical hospital in the country. They are healing professionals with a heart for the patient. They are not just doing their job; they are inspiring every patient as instruments to really feel better.

Moreover, ManilaMed values the good of every patient before anything else by responding to the needs of the community in the preservation of health through education, training and research.

* Center for Women's Health

As the first hospital in the Philippines to provide a center specifically for women, ManilaMed has 5 major subspecialties that are now housed in this one stop shop center – Center for Women’s Health, all of them concerned with health conditions specifically for females.

Dra. Maynila Domingo

Last February 16, a forum about Dystocia (Difficulty in Labor) was hosted by ManilaMed at Dr. Paulo C. Campos Hall of the hospital located at UN Avenue, Manila.

I was glad that I was invited to participate in the forum about Dystocia attended by medical students, health professionals, patients, and the general public. 

I have learned a lot of things during the forum that I can relate into as a mother. I am glad to share to you what I have discovered which can be of great help for all mothers and soon-to-be mothers.

Dra. Maynila Domingo of ManilaMed’s Maternal and Fetal Medicine was the speaker during the forum whom I have learned many things in understanding the process of normal labor and delivery, the causes of dysfunctional labor, the risk factors for dysfunctional labor, and the management and prevention of dysfunctional labor.

First, let us know what Dystocia is. 

The word dystocia, as what Dra. Domingo said is a difficult labor, abnormal labor, difficult childbirth, abnormal childbirth, and dysfunctional labor.

Dystocia is a dysfunctional labor from failure of the expulsive power of the womb, from obstruction to the birth passage or from abnormalities in the size, shape or presentation of the baby.

LABOR is the process that leads to childbirth. It begins with the onset of regular uterine contractions and ends with delivery of the newborn and expulsion of the placenta. It is undoubtedly true that pregnancy and birth are part of a physiological processes, and as such, labor and delivery should be considered to be normal for most women (Lawrence, 2012)

DELIVERY

• Expulsion of the fetus from the uterus

• VAGINAL

      - Normal spontaneous vaginal delivery 

      - Assisted vaginal delivery (forceps, vacuum)

• ABDOMINAL 

       - Caesarean section

During the Dystocia Forum, Dra. Domingo shared the factors that influence labor and delivery and she presented the 5 P's of Labor :

• Passage
• Position
• Passenger
• Psyche
• Power

The Dystocia Forum was a great medium for medical students. I have also learned a lot about dysfunctional labor on childbirth.

From this forum, I have realized the essence of being a mother. A mother’s duty is to raise her children the way she deems right, so that they may become as responsible as her, to make sacrifices for those she loves and to give of her best. Good thing there’s Center for Women’s Heath wherein women can take care of themselves better with quality services from ManilaMed’s healing professionals. I must say there is a need to take ManilaMed’s new Center for Women’s Health on the spotlight. 

Being a mother means being there to teach your child important rules and roles of life, from being an empathetic human being to learning how to be responsible of one's actions. Mothers will guide their children to figure out their goals and values in life as well as teach them the importance of education, manners and more. Mothers will also discipline their children, a skill that will benefit children throughout their journey whether at school, work and in life. 

So it’s better to take care of ourselves too to take care of our family. For me, that’s the essence of being a mother.
