1. Purpose and users
Tyre Management tracks tyre lifecycle from purchase to fitment, removal, retread, loss, or disposal. It is used by tyre managers, workshop teams, fleet teams, storekeepers, and cost analysts.
The goal is to know where every tyre is, which asset it is fitted to, how far it has run, why it was removed, and whether the cost per kilometre is acceptable.
2. Tyre register setup
The process starts by creating tyre records. A tyre record can store brand, serial number, size, purchase cost, supplier context, condition, status, branch, notes, and lifecycle information.
Accurate serial and size details are important because tyres are physical assets that move between stores, trucks, trailers, workshop, and disposal. Poor identity control makes fitment history unreliable.
3. Fitment workflow
A tyre can be fitted to an asset and position. The fitment captures the asset, position, fitment odometer, date, user, and context. The system prevents a tyre from being fitted again while it already has an active fitment.
This creates a reliable link between tyre, vehicle, and running distance. Fleet and workshop teams can see which tyres are currently active on a unit and when they were fitted.
4. Removal workflow
When a tyre is removed, the user records removal date, odometer, reason, tread or condition context, and notes. The system can calculate run distance from fitment to removal.
Removal reasons are important. A tyre removed due to normal wear is different from one removed because of damage, accident, mismatch, premature failure, or retread preparation. These reasons drive cost analysis.
5. Retread and lifecycle status
Tyres may move through retread or repair stages before being fitted again. Lifecycle status helps users understand whether a tyre is new, fitted, removed, retread, scrapped, or otherwise unavailable.
This prevents stock and fleet teams from treating a tyre as available when it is actually under repair, already fitted, or removed from service.
6. Workshop, inventory, and fleet links
Tyre work can appear in workshop job cards, inventory stock, purchase records, and asset history. A tyre may be purchased through stores, fitted by workshop, and reported through fleet cost dashboards.
The link across modules gives the business a full picture: what the tyre cost, where it was used, how long it lasted, and whether replacement was justified.
7. Reporting and daily use
Tyre reports focus on fitted tyres, removed tyres, tyres due for replacement, tyre loss, retread activity, run distance, and cost per kilometre. These reports help identify poor brands, bad routes, driver behaviour, or asset alignment problems.
In daily use, Tyre Management starts with tyre setup, records fitment, monitors active positions, records removal, updates lifecycle status, links workshop or inventory activity, and ends with performance reporting.
