Lubrication Fundamentals

The Lubrication Fundamentals course is available remotely or onsite. The training is aimed at Reliability Engineers, Maintenance Managers, and staff in factories, food production plants, power generation plants, and any other industrial setting where the benefits of an enhanced lubrication management program is desired. In a nutshell, Lubrication Fundamentals will start you on your path to reaping the benefits of a world class lubrication program in your facility. Topics include:

• Lubricants
• Traditional Lubricant Storage, Handling and Dispensing
• Lubricant Application Practices
• Equipment Maintainability
• Contamination Control
• Oil Sampling Practices

Plant Lubrication Self-Assessment

In addition to the information covered in Lubrication Fundamentals, for onsite training we subsequently take that information and conduct a lubrication self-assessment of your facility to establish best practices and create a blueprint to achieve world-class lubrication. This assessment process will help you:

• Evaluate the current status of the plant’s lubrication practices relative to best-in-class programs.
• Build a business case for precision lubrication improvements.
• Create a customized plan to help begin the transformation of your lubrication practices.
