Lubrication Management Services (LMS)
Many companies are realising that their lubrication practices play an important role in efforts to maximise plant and equipment efficiency.
Lubrication in the past has been seen as a function of low importance, being messy work, requiring limited skills and not at all well organised. This however is changing since the recognition of the important contribution lubrication management makes to higher equipment reliability.
An appropriate lubrication management strategy focussed on all aspects regarding lubrication and once established with a process of regular updates and continuous improvements, the practice can grow from a basic requirement stage to a proactive, integrated approach. In "Best Practices" Reliability Based Maintenance organisations, overall improvement programs, such as TPM or CPR, include Lubrication Management Services.
What does an effective Lubrication Management Services strategy include?
- Updated or new lubrication schedules
- Supply, install, implement special lubrication software (Lube IT4)
- Using the right greases or oils for special applications
- Contamination Control
- Lubrication knowledge
- Supply and storage of lubricants
- Health, safety and environment
- Execution of lubrication services
With our Lubrication Assessments we see the present level of lubrication standards in a Corrugating Packaging Plant. After an evaluation we will make a report accompanied with a plan of how to improve the different kinds of lubrication activities in order to get more equipment reliability and to fulfill the GMP, BRC, HACCP, ISO, etc. standards.
