What does Vmrs mean?
In the trucking maintenance world, there is refuge in the form of vehicle maintenance reporting standards (VMRS). These are the numerical coding designations that comprise the universal language shops use to communicate what is happening in a truck’s life and why.
What is a VMRS code for parts?
VMRS is a series of codes used to describe virtually every facet of the maintenance operation, from parts to manufacturers to technician work to vehicle location. Currently there are 64 main codes in VMRS, but “the heart of the system is Code 33,” Poster says, which describes each part using a numerical system.
How do I use VMRS codes?
- Step 1: Choose the right code key. There are 64 different code keys in the VMRS.
- Step 2: Enter the details you know. Component codes are further broken down into three triple-digit sections that correspond to System, Assembly, and Component.
- Step 3: Read the part information.
What is VMRs and why should you care?
VMRS is the universal maintenance language that lends itself to better maintenance reports. Using VMRS will help keep reports “short and sweet” and meaningful. It’s the preferred method of maintenance reporting. The current version of VMRS is version 2.0.
What is a VMRs code?
VMRS codes are a set of universal numeric codes that can be used to define virtually anything of importance to fleet operations.
How can you order VMRs parts?
You can order up parts from vendors with ease, knowing that you’ll get the exact item you need. Before the advent of computerized fleet management, technicians would write VMRS data on paper. In fact, you can still order a complete diskette set of the latest VMRS codes from the Technology and Maintenance Council for $199.
How does the VMRs lookup tool work?
The VMRS lookup tool will return all information on the part from the code as entered. In our example, it shows us that code 019-005-001 refers to a solenoid for chassis lubrication, which is part of the wiring system. If the code had appeared on a repair report, we would have a definitive view of what was replaced in the repair.
