32% of lubrication professionals believe management support is the most important factor for continuous improvement of a lubrication program, according to a recent survey at machinerylubrication.com filtration program? Have you set cleanliness targets? Are you sampling your lubricants to determine the water amount and removing any water as soon as possible? Are you performing laser alignments on your equipment before returning them back to production? Are you balancing your equipment? If you cannot effectively track any significant progress in these areas, then the window of opportunity may be closing on you. Leaders must continuously provide their team with the necessary tools and support to improve their program, while those who are performing the tasks must use what they have learned to effectively increase equipment reliability. Has the window closed on your program? Have you maximized your staff's education and enthusiasm? Lubrication excellence can be achieved when your team collectively contributes and applies the knowledge that has been obtained.
