An effective precision lubrication management program relies on Reliability-Centered Maintenance or RCM, a process to ensure that critical assets function at peak performance regardless of the harsh environmental conditions in which they run.
We are NOT a typical lubricant vendor!
Without intervention, all machines will ultimately fail. Every failure has a direct or indirect operational impact on your company's bottom line. The goal of RCM strategies, then, is to attempt to understand failure modes in order to identify interventions that will avoid that result. This requires that you manage the lubricant condition to ensure that the correct lubricant, the right amount, and at the right frequency be optimized for your equipment. This in turn is a huge ROI for considering us in setting you up with a program on managing your lubrication needs.
Saving time, resources and money while increasing the reliability of your equipment is at the core of our mission. At Lubrication Technologies, Inc, we understand the science behind reliability-centered maintenance and the critical role that lubrication management plays in the success of your program. That's why we offer 360° solutions to help you identify and prevent equipment failure.
Interested in unbiased lubrication facts?
From day one, we have believed in freely sharing technical information. An educated prospect is more likely to recognize the value of our products and services. Our customers rely on us as a resource for information, not just products and services.
Although lubricants make up a mere 3% of the typical maintenance budget; using ineffective products, techniques and applications can have a significant impact on the lubricant-related costs that make up 43% of that budget. That's right, a whopping 43% of your over-all maintenance budget is impacted by your lubrication program.
Whether your goal is the prevention of contamination ingression, the removal of contaminants, enhancing your oil analysis program, increasing the safety and cleanliness of your lubricant storage area, or improving profitability through a combination of any or all of the above; a Lubrication Management Program designed by the Technical Consultants at Lubrication Technologies, Inc. can help you target those areas where you see red.
Your equipment and components will last longer, run more efficiently and more reliably and replacements won't be required prematurely. Your labor force will spend less time on routine lubrication-related maintenance and no time on lubricant-related failures. You'll reduce over-all lubricant consumption and waste.
Those who have any awareness of the benefits of having a Lubrication Management Program understand there are multiple areas and opportunities for improvement in virtually any facility that uses lubricants. Low hanging fruit abounds with opportunities for meaningful advancement that goes right to the bottom line. Asset managers understand that attaining optimum reliability requires an all-in commitment and dedication to the cause. Like anything else, this concept generally needs to be sold to management. Simply asking if you can get consent to improve your lubrication program will generally result in question: what’s it going to cost and what benefits will be realized? That then goes to what’s wrong with the program we have now?
This is where LE’s Xpert™ Benchmark Audit provides huge value.
As per the famous quote by Peter Drucker: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
Our audit assesses your organization on 9 categories and provides a scoresheet enabling you and your team to see exactly where improvement can be made as well as where you are doing well. You then have a roadmap that paves the way towards a World Class Lubrication Management Program. The icing is that you have the opportunity to work with a company dedicated to helping you succeed. Results are: reduced lubricant consumption; reduced manpower requirements to maintain equipment; enhanced safety, higher levels of machine reliability and increased profits.
Our world class lubrication reliability program provides measurable results for those who think in terms of total cost of equipment ownership. Our Lubrication Technical Consultants will partner with you to assess every lubricated component in your plant or fleet to measure current results and identify areas that are costing you time and money. Whether you choose to survey the entire operation or just focus on a few areas, you'll be able to compare the before to the after. To take the guesswork out your lubrication budget, invite an onsite survey to document:
Xpert ™ Program Design and Installation: All Systems Go
Using the metrics identified in the survey phase and considering the lubricant requirements necessary to increase equipment reliability and reduce downtime, our team will work with you to design and carry out a clear, concise, cost-effective Lubrication Management Program by:
Once decisions have been made regarding those recommendations, Lubrication Technologies Consultants can help design, install and service the systems selected with the objective of controlling contaminants, increasing equipment reliability and reducing costs, including systems in these key areas:
PERSONNEL EDUCATION & TRAINING FOR LUBRICATION MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES
Xpert ™ MLT Training is the First Step Towards Achieving Higher Levels of Equipment Reliability
Companies that strive for a world class equipment reliability program take a critical step in that direction by educating personnel responsible for maintaining critical assets. We believe that Machinery Lubrication Technician Level I Training and Certification is a critical first step toward achieving higher levels of equipment reliability.
There are multiple avenues toward that certification and one is easily available through Lubrication Engineers regularly scheduled training seminars held at LE Headquarters in Witchita Kansas. Lead by LE's expert instructor, Ken Kizer, CLS, OMA I & II, MLT I & II Instructor, Lubrication Training & Consulting, the Xpert MLT I course content includes:
