When machine mapping is completed, Stage 2
can commence.
Stage 2: Lubricant and lubricant-resource
mapping. In this stage, inventory and document
all lubricants found inside and outside the plant,
whether in current use or not, and photograph
their labels. At the same time, identify, document,
and photograph all stocked breathers and lube
filters.
The information collected in Stages 1 and 2
should be turned over to your lubricant supplier.
In turn, the supplier should engage the lubricant-manufacturer's engineers (usually at no
charge if you purchase their products) to perform
a consolidation audit that reduces your lubricant inventory. The results of the audit can then
be shared with one or more lubrication-system
suppliers. They'll be able to analyze the data and
suggest lubricant-delivery system designs that can
optimize machine efficiency, costs, and lifecycle
effectiveness. A quality supplier will provide
system engineering and system schematics with
numbering protocols as part of their service.
Approach your filter and breather suppliers in the
same manner.
With Stages 1 and 2 out of the way, and information from your suppliers in hand, Stage 3 can
begin.
Stage 3: Work-flow and delivery-route
mapping. Developing and updating of workflows
and delivery routes will take time. Your site may
choose to tackle it with in-house personnel or
elect to engage a lubrication-management expert
to assist with the effort. (You have the same
options for the other two stages and can change
your approach at any time in the LM process.)
Regardless of how you choose to implement
LM, or how much of a commitment in time and
resources the process ultimately requires, remember this: Lubrication mapping is the simplest,
most efficient way to ensure the crucial 4Rs of
lubrication are at work at your site. EP
