systemic reason such as accessibility?
Do we close out the PM since we did
99% of the work or do we leave it
open? Neither is correct. How about
tracking what lubricant to use or how
much to apply?
Enter the world of lube scheduling
soſt ware. Oſt en linked through an
API or other data bridge to the main
maintenance-management system,
lube-scheduling soſt ware provides a
more complex hierarchy of lubricated
parts (level 9) that, when set up properly,
rolls up to the correct hierarchical
level in the main system.
By defi ning a more detailed taxonomy, we can now assign conhand-held
devices to issue work
instructions in the fi eld, and
have the capability of building
lubrication routes to create effi -
ciencies in execution. In eff ect,
they take care of the minutia that
would be too cumbersome and
complex for a main maintenance-management
system.
If you're struggling with
Lube scheduling software will help you defi ne and schedule activities
that fall under level 9 of the ISO 14224 standard.
eff ective execution of lubrication
PMs, insure you've defi ned the
work that needs to be done by
creating unique asset-lubrication
policies for each lubricated
sumables (fi lters, breathers, lubricant), as well as unique tasks (lube
PMs) at the correct level, allowing us to track and trace individual
PM completion, manage overdue tasks, tie oil analysis data and key
metrics to the lubrication component, and provide work instructions
(procedures) to ensure that tasks are executed correctly.
Lube-scheduling soſt ware can be server or cloud based, tied to
component and look at the benefi ts of deploying lube PMs through a
specialized lube management and scheduling system. EP
