Abstract
Introduction. The article examines current issues of improving the efficiency of automobile service stations in modern conditions. The article provides a statistical analysis of the factors influencing the organization of car maintenance with additional work. The purpose of the study is to establish the dependence of the mechanics or diagnosticians’ waiting time for spare parts to perform additional work during car maintenance at the dealership technical service center on the total number of vehicle visits, the number of vehicle visits for maintenance, and the number of vehicle visits for maintenance when additional work has been carried out.
Materials and Methods. The results of time-loss measurements taken during maintenance work at an existing dealership technical service center have been used in the study. The research has been conducted with the application of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and linear regression methods.
Results. The study results demonstrate quantitative characteristics of dealership technical service center operations. A statistically significant relationship was established between the facility’s workload and time losses. The strongest and most statistically significant relationship was established between the number of maintenance visits required additional work and mechanics’ time lost waiting for spare parts. The functional relationship between waiting time for spare parts and the number of maintenance visits was clarified.
Discussion and conclusion. The obtained results can be used to optimize work planning and improve the efficiency of operation processes at technical service centers.
