Machinery Lubrication 5 suggest a beginning and an end, asset manage- ment is a living, continuous journey with no ultimate finality. The fourth column in the table is my effort to restate each step element in the context of machinery lubrication. To the far right are the indi- vidual chapters (from ISO 55001) corresponding to the elements. A copy of this standard can be obtained via the ISO website (www.iso.org). Using ISO 55000 to Write an Engineering Specification for Lubrication Excellence Think of ISO 55000 as a detailed framework, like a template or programmatic checklist, for writing an engineering specification for lubrication excellence. The foundation for the framework is rooted in well- tested organizational principles such as management of change, management science, process control, quality assurance and many others. ISO 55000 doesn't advise you on needed lubrication improvements in your plant. In fact, I was unable to find the words lubricant or lubrication anywhere in this document (nearly 80 pages). Yet, for machinery-intensive organiza- tions, reliability is intensely related to lubrication. Reliability and machinery asset management require enablers. There is no better enabler than lubrication excellence. The concept of optimum and balance is a fundamental principle to achieving lubrication excellence and compliance to ISO 55000. However, this standard doesn't define optimum but rather guides you, or your organization, in seeking and defining optimum based on many factors and constraints that surround each decision. These are unique to your plant, work environment and individual machines. They generally include overall machine criticality (likelihood and consequence of failure), failure mode ranking by likelihood and severity (FMEA), ELEMENT DESCRIBED IN THE CON- TEXT OF AN ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ELEMENT DESCRIBED IN THE CONTEXT OF MACHINERY LUBRICATION ISO 55001 CHAPTERS Organizational objectives in the use of all assets: safety, financial, social, regulatory, environmental, readiness Organizational objectives in the use of machinery assets: safety, financial, social, regulatory, environmental, readiness 4 High-level management com- mitment statement related to the optimum use and management of assets to achieve organizational objectives (within the constraints of the organization) High-level management commitment statement related to the optimum use and management of machinery assets to achieve organizational objectives (within the constraints of the organization) 5 Development of a specific, optimum and documented asset management plan needed to achieve organiza- tional objectives Definition of the lubrication optimum reference state (ORS) and transformational steps needed to achieve the machinery asset management objectives. ORS elements include skills and training, lubricant selection, lubrication procedures, machine readiness, oil analysis processes, key performance indicators (KPIs), etc. 6 Execution of transformation steps needed to close gaps between the current asset management state and the planned optimum state Execution of the transformational steps needed to close gaps between the current state of lubrication and the planned optimum state for all machinery assets utilizing lubricants 7, 8 Using an independent auditor, assess (by verification or measurement) the alignment of the current transformed state of asset management with the optimum planned state Using an independent auditor, assess (by verification or measurement) the alignment of the current transformed state of machinery asset lubrication with the planned optimum reference state 9 Closure/remediation of remaining gaps by continual improvement Closure/remediation of remaining gaps by continual improvement 10
