Current and Expected Usage of PC's in Heavy Truck Maintenance 962229
The usage of personal computers by members of The Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Associations has been measured through primary market research.
Survey results indicate that maintenance management utilization of personal computers is significant and can be expected to continue to grow over the next several years. The computer platform is relatively new and includes peripherals such as communications modems and CD-ROM.
Applications most prevalent today are office management and personal productivity packages. Future demand is for more vertical software specific to maintenance training, diagnostics and management.
