Introduction
Logistics is a trending business line in this current era. Helping other business with transportation is a market-
friendly business process. There are challenges and scopes in this business. This study is based on an operational
issue of a transport service with vehicle maintenance delays in Serco MELABS Contract in middle east. Secro is a
renowned organization providing public services since 1927. There are several services under the Organization.
MELABS is one of the contracts providing services such as Asset Hire and Transport Management, Pool Fleet
Management, Road Movement Services, Warehouse Management, Procurement Services, Waste Management,
Grounds Refuel Service and Telecommunications Services (Serco, 2019). Secro group of industries is doing their
businesses internationally and having projects of big names in the world. All the businesses are well structured.
Quality is the most influential factor to have an impact on customer satisfaction. A company always should keep
monitoring the processes running in the business. Secro has some customer negative feedback with the Asset
Hire and Transport Services, the most prominent segment of its business (Serco, 2019). The study focuses on
identifying the issues and providing a possible solution by this project. In this introductory part, the rationale of the
research, problems and objectives of the project is discussed.
Rationale
This study is done to have the solution for the current issues of Asset Hire and Transport Services, a part of Secro
Group MELABS Contract (Serco, 2019). This study will help to understand the operational issues of the business.
It is beneficial for fixing the problem of the business. To increase customer satisfaction and make a better
reputation in the market, Secro needs to have a change project in the business operation process of Asset Hire
and Transport Services. To make a big deal in future projects, the company needs to improve its service quality.
This research is useful to have better efficiency and to reach the desired success to the company.
Research Problem
The research problem is a vital point in the introductory part of any research. The research problem leads the
project to the ultimate completion of the same. In this part of the study, the primary problem of the research is
discussed. In this case, Secro MELABS Contract is facing increase number of complaints from its customer for
delays in its services (Serco, 2019). There are a lot of open requests for vehicle maintenance and servicing, both
scheduled and unscheduled requested are there in the queue. Serco is receiving request for services faster than
they can complete existing service requests and the managing department of the business is falling behind.
Therefore, number of offline vehicles are increasing. It is increasing the dissatisfaction of the client due to
operational impacts, which is having a negative impact on the current MELABS contract and could impact to future
business of the company.

Literature Review
Schedule and Unscheduled vehicle maintenance
According to Dede and Joshi, had identified the vehicle maintenance is the crucial factor to increase the availability
of vehicles. Scheduled maintenance helped to enhance within the predetermined timing (Dede and Joshi, 2019). It
also helps to recurring vehicle maintenance with time intervals. Unscheduled vehicle maintenance referred to the
maintenance applicable often. Vehicle ageing and degradation lead to cause the vehicle failed to work. The
increasing value of schedule maintenance helps in maintaining the value of a vehicle (Cebe et al. 2018). It had
been observed, and the scheduled maintenance had several benefits. It leads to prevail the apprehensive vehicle
maintenance and also helps to reduce the costing process of the maintenance. Hence it had identified the vehicle
maintenance often regulated at a certain time. With the exaggeration of the vehicle, vehicle maintenance also had
to opt. The inauguration of the schedule maintenance evolves the execution of the vehicle. On another hand, the
unscheduled maintenance had the negotiating attribute in vehicle maintenance. The enrollment of scheduled
maintenance had been optimized as the prominent factor to evolve the maintenance service of the vehicles.
Maintenance planners developed the plan of scheduled maintenance to operate effective maintenance. The
schedule line integrated die to effective maintenance task. The servicing operation opted to schedule the plan to
mesmerize the maintenance value of the vehicle. Subsequently, the scheduled maintenance helps to maintain
vehicle capability. Schedule maintenance had the predetermined actions to integrate the value of maintenance of
the vehicles.
On the other hand, the scheduled maintenance had the evolving value as they aid to demolish the maintenance of
the vehicle. The research study depicted the evolution of schedule maintenance leads to influence the value of
servicing of vehicles. Scheduled maintenance had been inaugurated as the component replacement. The
procurement of this maintenance process helps to provide preventive maintenance. Some of the scheduled
maintenance include grease, oil changes, and inspection during the trip. The research study also focused on
unscheduled maintenance. The unscheduled maintenance occurred due to unexpected failures, breakdowns. The
inauguration of the schedule and unscheduled maintenance helped to achieve the intensified vehicle life. The
profound schedule maintenance leads to promote the capability of the vehicle and lead to enhance the lifecycle of
the vehicle. Proactive maintenance had been preferred as it pledges reactive maintenance. The practice of
scheduled maintenance required the appropriate planning and knowledge to execute apprehensively. Proactive
maintenance mostly enhanced with the embracing of preventive maintenance. The inspection of preventive
maintenance included the facilitated services, oil changes. These had been enrolled as the scheduled
maintenance, which helps to prevail the potential components of the vehicles. Rather than that, the unprecedented
enhancement of schedule maintenance affiliated to locate the appropriate vehicle parts effectively. In the modern
world, the schedule and unscheduled maintenance both had the prioritizing role in influencing the maintenance
process. Moreover, it also facilitates the lifecycle of the vehicle and helps to integrate the prominent maintenance.
Impact of backlogging of the vehicles
The increased number of ad-hock reactive vehicle maintenance requests in addition to the scheduled maintenance
plan has appeared to be a problematic issue for Serco MELABS contract over the recent past. From the previous
pieces of literature, it has been prominent that the business organizations never become able to gain customer
satisfaction when they happen to be unable to fulfil the need of their customers. According to the article, an
effective reactive routing protocol is to be maintained for the dense vehicular ad hoc networks (Sivakumar, and
Manoharan, 2017). When a vehicle is left backlogged, it will become of no use to its owner, and it requires to be
repaired accordingly. The vehicle needs proper maintenance when it is getting used; otherwise, it may appear to
be backlogged one day and will become useless. This will create several problematic consequences for the
customer of a company that prepares the vehicles for their business. Therefore, the company requires to look into
these issues so that the customers will not face any problems in future while using those vehicles. While the
company who maintained the vehicles is seen to delay in the process of backlogging of the vehicles, the
customers may face several problems in the time of using those vehicles. Thus, the company requires to be aware
of the problematic consequences its customers may face and take necessary steps to further investigate the
matter (Hu et al., 2017). According to the authors, the operational commitments will be another significant problem
for the customers when they will not be able to make use of their vehicles (Ricci and Newman, 2018).
Furthermore, the transport fleet will be affected as the customer will not reach their destination in time when
vehicles happen to be offline (Amadeo, Campolo, and Molinaro, 2016). Thus, it may appear to be quite problematic
on the part of the customers for they will ultimately face all these consequences of vehicles being off line and
backlogged which need to be serviced but are left unrepaired. While the authors have focused on the problems of
the customers, it has not been overlooked by them that the customers need to be provided with the proper service-
related facilities by the vehicle selling the company for the responsibility to provide their customers with these
advantages lies on the company (Hu et al., 2017). The backlogged cars will appear to be more as a liability to
customers than as an asset. The customers will not become capable enough to acquire the facilities which were
intended behind their buying of those vehicles if those vehicles turn out to be backlogged for a long time period.
Most significantly, the customers will never be able to trust the company further for their poor experience in

acquiring service-related facilities. Therefore, the company requires to try to resolve all these problematic issues
faced by the customers; otherwise they will never be able to gain customer satisfaction, and the scope of their
business will be affected out of this in the future.
Mobile Service Unit
The mobile service provided to the customers is service that helps the company to service cars on the spot and in
bulk. The mobile service uses the concept of on-wheel service. The routine service for servicing vehicles ensures
that the customers do not need to take the number of cars to the service centre (Izogo and Ogba 2015). The
service centre sends van having all the equipment necessary for servicing a car and take minimum time to service
a vehicle. The companies working in the automobile industry have started using the concept of mobile service. The
utilization of mobile service builds a trust and brand name within the customer. The use of towing truck is quite old
and some customers find it uncomfortable to tow or drive their car to the servicing centre. The mobile service
ensures that the customer does not need to visit a servicing centre. The service centre is situated at a distance
that develops trouble for towing the malfunctioning car to the service centre, getting it repaired and return it to the
owner. The use of mobile service for car servicing helps the car servicing company to retain their customers (Izogo
and Ogba 2015). It is human nature to use the facility that does not require a person to visit a place where they can
call up and get the service done (Izogo and Ogba 2015). The use of internet and mobile has increased to a great
extent, and all people tend to use their smart phones for all-purpose, getting supplies from the market to getting the
car serviced.
The use of mobile service profoundly influences customer behavior as the brand name is highlighted. Most people
consider that a service providing company has the facility for mobile services means that the business organization
is technologically advanced and know about the latest trends (Al-Azzam 2015). The use of such a people-oriented
service indicates that the business organization uses the strategy of retaining customers by satisfying their
demands. A yard having un-serviced cars looks unpleasing along with blocking up the yard. It is crucial for a
company functioning in the automobile industry to establish a mobile service facility for its customers. The
customers and clients demand that their vehicles are upgraded and serviced from time to time. There exists a
strong relationship between the service provided after selling cars, quality of the service and customer loyalty. It is
possible to maintain customer loyalty by maintaining customer satisfaction and providing services based on
customer demand (Al-Azzam 2015). It is slowly becoming a trend that people prefer to get their car serviced at the
place opted by them instead of taking the car to the service centre themselves (Al-Azzam 2015). The quality of
services determines customer satisfaction as it expresses the true nature of the company along showing the
responsibility of the company towards its customers. The clients of the company find it easy to communicate to the
serviceman who has been appointed rather than to the head who sits in the room and order his subordinates to
check the fault in the car.
With the evolution of technology in the modern world, the servicing unit of vehicles also generated its value. The
collaboration of mobile service and routine service make the service more prominent. Hence it had been
accumulated an apprehensive servicing to inaugurate the exaggerating value (Bohnsack and Pinkse, 2017). The
routine service had availed the servicing process of the vehicle servicing organization. On another hand, it also
fulfils the adequate needs of the consumers. The consumer does not need to take the vehicle to the service centre.
The integration of routine servicing helped the organization to pledge the enhanced servicing of the vehicles. The
routine servicing ensures the servicing process by sending the servicing van which has the equipment that
required for servicing (Beckman and Bjone, Amazon Technologies Inc, 2017). The intervention of routine
maintenance also leads to maintaining vehicle maintenance within minimum time. The inauguration of the routine
service leads to increase their competency of the service centre. It had been observed, the mobile service and
routine service had perpetuated the value of the vehicles. The utilization of mobile service and renowned routine
service helped to intensify the value of branding of the service centre (Penilla, and Penilla, 2016). The organization
that is mostly involved in vehicle maintenance had concentrated on the mobile service to create mesmerizing
communication with the consumers. In addition, the inauguration of the mobile service leads to evolving the
trusting value of the consumer. Subsequently the research study also identified the routine service had opted to
intensify the value of schedule and unscheduled vehicle maintenance. The inclusion of routine service had
promoted the competency of the organization related to the servicing vehicles. Subsequently, the inauguration of
the mobile service had prevailed the magnificent customer behavior as it to highlight the brand of the organization.
Previously, the mobile service and timely routine service are not availed in automobile servicing organization. The
devolving efficacy of mobile service and routine service devolved consumer interest. Nowadays, the evolution of
mobile service also helped the consumers to solve the various query about vehicle maintenance.
Furthermore, the involvement of mobile service had enhanced the servicing capability of the service centre and
also helped the customer as it reduce the vehicle down time and the customer away time from operational
commitments. In another hand, the optimization of routine service has reduced the unscheduled maintenance
requests, the towing of the unrepaired vehicles such as trucks, cars are very complex to take in the service centre.

Methodology
Research Design
The term ‘research design’ refers to a significant framework that is made by the involvement of several methods
along with some innovative techniques for having a better conclusion of the proposed project and its objectives
(Colorafi and Evans, 2016). It has been seen that the research design of any project usually being determined by
the researcher who is responsible for the conduction of the project. A ‘logical manner’ is maintained in this process
for having a satisfactory result with the alignment of the information. ‘Research design’ defines how the raised
problem in the research would be solved with efficiency. According to the study (Woiceshyn and Daellenbach,
2018), four types of research designs have been identified that are suitable for researching with professionalism.
The recognized research designs are ‘descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental’. The
following research has been conducted for an operational issue of a vehicle maintenance and transport service
provided in MELABS Contract in Secro.

Justification:
For this study, ‘descriptive’ research design has been chosen to research the vehicle maintenance and transport
service in Serco. The company is trying to engage the customers by providing a better vehicle maintenance
service and maintain the rate of customer satisfaction. The research design of the conducted research would help
to conclude the purpose of the study with information alignment. The following descriptive research design
approach and the collection of data would be determined in the below section.
Research Approach
Data collection is required for research to be conducted with the fulfilment of all the essential criteria of the crucial
aspects. The approach of the research is responsible for determining the process of data collection. The following
assignment is based on an operational issue of vehicle maintenance. The identified problem for the conduction of
the research used to be addressed by the research approach. There are three types of research approaches such
as ‘inductive, deductive and adductive (Woiceshyn and Daellenbach, 2018).
Justification:
The present study has been conducted using the deductive approach. The following research aims to engage
more customer satisfaction in the company by providing the customers with a good and improved vehicle
maintenance services. ‘Deductive’ approach would help the researcher to determine the processes of authentic
and relevant data collection, so that the study can be conducted successfully.
Research Philosophy
‘Research philosophy’ plays an immersive role in determining the way of gathering the data and the way to utilize
them in the conduction of the research (Fletcher, 2017). The philosophy of the research indicates the appropriate
approach for the research that would be adopted. The following study is based on an operational issue of the
vehicle maintenance service. ‘Realism research philosophy’ would be adopted for the successful completion of the

study. The philosophy of the research would help to gather confidential data that is helpful for the proposed
research.
Data Collection
Data collection is the most integral part of a research or project. It deals with the information required for analyzing
and concluding for a significant research problem. It is significant that when a research follows systematic data
collection process, the solution will be more satisfactory. This study is based on collecting data primarily from the
'Secro' itself in the form of information and statistics of the maintenance schedule of the vehicle maintenance work
requests since December 2018 till June 2019, customer complaints and interviewing the managing department of
the organization. Though information can be obtained from various sources like surveys, interviews,
questionnaires, journals, case studies, and reports, this study is focused on some particular systematic sources.
As this is a sort of secondary data thus a mixed method analysis is justified with collection of data. The secondary
data can be of various services provided by Secro to the defence, Navy or other sectors. This will provide the
graphics to the researcher to draw an explicit understanding on the cause behind the delay of the service units.
Sampling
Sampling is the process of selecting a group of people, subjects or objects from a large population or datasets. A
researcher uses sampling technique to determine the liable people and sources for the research for further
experiments. Thus, selecting an appropriate sample measurement tool for finding out the contextual participants is
very important for generating exclusive data. This research will account the Serco MELABS Head of Support
Services and Service Provider for an interview. This is followed by selection of appropriate literature and cases.
Data Analysis
The data analysis is an important section which provides the practical outline on the research area. This section of
the research will look to detail the process of executing the information collected previously. The data collection
mentioned a primary approach conducting an interview with the Head of Support Services and the Service
Provider of the maintenance of the backlogged vehicles. The interview results will be accounted based on the
transcript deduced from the two face to face interviews. The section will cover possible answer required to draw an
effective solution to the problem of the service. This is where the study will look for a compare and contrast on the
collected data. In order to understand the basic of the problem for the maintenance failure and customer
dissatisfaction, several literature reviews are included. The concepts generated from the literature in terms of the
mobile service unit as a solution, figuring out the client POC and the requirements to deal with research area.

Results/Findings
The scholarly articles offer certain valuable insight for the concerned matter. It is being found that requests
consuming ad-hoc reactive vehicle maintenance system are the main issue for Serco. Due to the stated issue, the
organization suffers from client complaints and dissatisfaction. Defective vehicles are the burden for the users
where they want the easy and best solution for it. However, the scenario becomes just the opposite of it as the
organization fail to offer timely service for the clients. Further, maintenance is even an important part of a vehicle
where the organization lacks severely. The organization carries much backlog for the defective vehicle and thus
cannot manage to offer their service for maintenance. The situation makes the scenario more vulnerable for the
customers and the company. The discussion stresses more on time as it is being found that time is the most
important factor in this regard as the clients become irritated due to the late service of the company.
The referring can be clarified more with the data of the last six months, the company managed to service less and
less vehicles on time and many vehicles were carried over to the next month for servicing where they fail to
provide their service on time. The graph shows the number of open requests is often more than the completed
services in a month thus making maintenance to be carried over to the following month resulting the vehicle is
offline for extended period.

Interviews
The research is based on some sources of information and data. There are two types of information sources.
There are some established theories of management and findings regarding the current issues of the company.
These are considered as secondary data sources. A literature review is a secondary source of data. There is a part
of primary data collection in this research. The interview is the tool of primary data collection. The thoughts and
knowledge of related persons regarding the considered topic are taken as the primary source of data. In this case,
two interviews are taken to collect important information for the research. One is the Head of Support Services of
Asset Hire and Transport Services in Serco MELABS Contract, and the other is the Service Provider, who is a
partner of this project. Details of the two interviews are stated below.
Interview 1: Head of Support Services
Interviewer: How is the business going?
HSS: It's going satisfactory. Serco group is doing very well in the world market. Middle East Logistics and Base
Support Services (MELABS) is the re-bid won by Serco. However, there are some issues and customer complaints
which are harming this sector of their business.
Interviewer: What is the main issue for this current situation?
HSS: The maintenance and service of the vehicle are not going well. The asset has many backlog requests of
vehicle maintenance which are increasing the customer dissatisfaction. Supplier is losing time spent on vehicle
collection and return from service resulting in only limited vehicle collected for service in a month.
Interviewer: As per you, how it can be managed?

HSS: A proper system of monitoring and vehicle maintenance have to be implemented to reduce this problem.
Interview 2: Service Provider
Interviewer: What is the primary issue of the company?
Service Provider: increase number of vehicle maintenance requests, time taken for secluded maintenance, lack of
number and skills of employees are the main issue of the company.
Interviewer: What can be done to overcome the issues?
Service Provider: Minor services can be completed by use of mobile service system, which can provide service
within 3 hours. Major services and repairs can still go to the workshop for maintenance. With a mobile service, we
are able to service up to 5 vehicles in a day at the customer location. This will reduce the time taken for secluded
maintenance and reduce the vehicle backlog.
The scheduled maintenance service had been optimized as the predetermined service to avail the maintenance
service of the vehicles. Scheduled maintenance helped to enhance within the predetermined timing. It also helps to
recurring vehicle maintenance with time intervals. Unscheduled vehicle maintenance referred to the maintenance
applicable often. Vehicle ageing and degradation lead to cause the vehicle failed to work (Litichever et al. 2018).
The increasing value of schedule maintenance helps in maintaining the value of the vehicle. It had been observed,
and the scheduled maintenance had several benefits. The research study also integrated the evolution of routine
service and mobile service. The involvement of routine service and mobile service had led to intensify the value of
vehicle maintenance. The inauguration of routine service leads to promote technological factors in the automobile
organization. It availed the servicing strategy of the service centre. The evolution of mobile service helped the
customer to solve the various query about vehicle maintenance. They also need not to visit the service centre for
vehicle maintenance. The routine service had availed the servicing process of the vehicle servicing organization.
On another hand, it also fulfils the adequate needs of the consumers. The integration of routine servicing helped
the organization to pledge the enhanced servicing of the vehicles.
Furthermore, the involvement of mobile service and routine service had enhanced the servicing capability of the
service centre. On another hand, it also helped the customers to make the work more ease. It also had been
evaluated the customer behavior reflected with the optimization of mobile service. On the other hand, the
integration of routine service had magnified the servicing value of the vehicle. The randomization of technological
factors such as routine service had made the activity ease for mechanics. It also helped the customers to get the
service within a reduce time frame. The optimization of mobile service leads to enhance the competency of the
organization. Mobile service facilitates the communication process with the consumers.
The inclusion of mobile service had revealed to intensify customer attractiveness. Hence it also leads to enhance
the baring awareness of the organization and the inauguration of the mobile service leads to evolving the trusting
value of the customer. Subsequently, the research study also identified the routine service had opted to intensify
the value of schedule and unscheduled vehicle maintenance. The inclusion of timely routine service had promoted
the competency of the organization related to the servicing vehicles. The profound schedule maintenance leads to
promote the capability of the vehicle and lead to enhance the lifecycle of the vehicle. Proactive maintenance had
been preferred as it lessen reactive maintenance requirements. The practice of scheduled maintenance required
the appropriate planning and knowledge to execute apprehensively. Proactive maintenance mostly enhanced with
the embracing of preventive maintenance. The inspection of preventive maintenance included the facilitated
services, oil changes and power checks. Hence the synthesizing of the schedule maintenance created the
predominant action on the vehicle maintenance. It also increased the value of vehicle maintenance and helped to
fulfill the demand of the customers. The facilitation of mobile service and timely routine service had regained the
customers loyalty. The inauguration of mobile service leads the automobile organization to technologically
influence and also helped to provide the mesmerizing service within appropriate timing.
The betterment they obtained through the specified systems while mobile service is an important factor as it helps
to save time for the consumers initiating better customer satisfaction. Through the mobile service, the organization
can get in touch with its consumers at any time. The initiative further helps the organization to offer customized
service, which helps them to regain the reputation of the organization. In this regard, they obtain the service
through which the customers can access mobile service where they do not need to go to the service centre for
servicing. It is a common factor that, going to the service centre takes much time as it goes through different
regulations and procedures whereas mobile service is a better option in this regard which saves time for both the
parties and it helps the organization to retain its customers. Better relationship with the stakeholder like Service
Providers help the organization to have a better insight into the process of delay if any issues predominate the
procedure. The service consists of the engagement of different stakeholders like Service Providers as they make
the process successful for the organization and thus, the organization serves the people. The insight in advance
helps the organization to convey the delay to the customers previously to avoid the issues in future. The clients
can be prepared with the issue of the delay through advance information, which helps the organization to maintain
a better customer relationship retaining a better reputation for the part of the company.
