• Expediting fees • Ongoing technical support (industry specialization, etc.) • Software for managing lubricant supplies and reordering If these details are absent, or if the language of the agreement is vague, don't be afraid to ask questions and get clarifications. A good lube supplier is knowledgeable and has nothing to hide — they will happily provide you with all the details you desire. Do your best to determine the meth- odology the supplier may use to recommend lubricants. Do they use a standardized approach to identify the right lubricant for the application? Do they focus on the application requirements, or do they simply match the properties of the lubricant currently in use? Are synthetics versus mineral oils selected based on the ORS? Are considerations like ambient conditions, risk of moisture/other contaminants, viscosity index, etc., part of their calculations? Have they had a conversation with you about the reliability goals and criticality of all your equipment? All of these factors play a role in our reliability and should be addressed.
