Start with an Assessment
It is important to start with a detailed gap analysis to identify
the current state of the lubrication program and refer to
analysis results moving forward. Noria has a patented,
detailed benchmark assessment called Ascend™. NWS
begins with this Ascend™ gap analysis so the customer,
Noria program manager and incoming NWS personnel have
a precise understanding of the work to be done to maximize
reliability through lubrication excellence.
The Ascend™ assessment spans three days and
includes interviews with facility stakeholders, a facility
tour, observations of lubrication practices and a report to
management with hardware/procedure recommendations.
This report helps facility management, Noria and the
NWS staff prioritize tasks appropriately. Additionally, Noria
technical consultants give other facility personnel
a half-day training on lubrication awareness
to ensure the program moves forward
efficiently.
This process is ISO 55000
compliant and based on Six
Sigma methodology to bring
your lubrication program to
maximum efficiency and deliver
significant return on investment.
