Reliability & Maintenance

---

Maintenance reliability, whether actual lubrication or broader reliability, can mean the difference between a highly productive facility versus extended downtime and reduced performance due to machinery failures. We have over twenty years of experience conducting reliability services that keep your production running at peak performance levels. We can assist with everything from training to lubrication storage and audits to designing a top-notch maintenance reliability program. A sample of what we can provide includes the following. Contact us with any additional needs you may have.

Compete onsite evaluation of bulk lubrication storage and handling areas with an emphasis on safely storing lubricants in OSHA approved containers, lube storage ventilation and climate controlled evaluations, fire suppression, and regulatory compliance for SDS informational data sheets. All phases of lubricant deployment will be reviewed and evaluated.

Onsite review of current lubrication lube routing, identification of problematic lubrication areas, and machine lubrication points. overall emphasis on fastest and most efficient lube route design and implementation.

Identification of machine oil sampling areas, correct sampling techniques utilizing proper equipment for sample retrieval, understanding of report results, and implementation of life extension matrices based on lube analysis results.

Evaluation is offered to show the effectiveness of a well-maintained lubrication program, including lubrication selection based on manufacturing needs, lubrication identification needs, increased machine life extension matrices utilizing best practices sampling intervals and lubrication safety audits.

Manufacturing maintenance reliability is evaluated and insights given for areas of improvement, including introduction of non-destructive testing procedures, life extension evaluations of equipment utilizing current best practices, understanding and implementation of proactive (condition based) versus reactive maintenance techniques and maximize equipment uptime. Total productive maintenance (TPM) evaluations of machine operators to understand roles of ownership including cleaning, inspections, and lubrication.

These classes are designed to bring a sense of "best practice" to your workplace regarding reliability methods, including understanding different contamination factors and how to control them, extending equipment life, extending lubrication life to maximum levels, understanding how machines effect plant operations with emphasis on equipment placement, operating environments, understanding speed and load restrictions, and, most importantly, understanding the roles of humans in reliability best practices.
