Set criticality ratings that drive work order priority for oil analysis and lubrication monitoring.
Oil Analysis and Industrial Lubrication Monitoring
Practical training in oil analysis and lubrication monitoring, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on oil analysis and lubrication monitoring in good years and paid for in bad ones. The most reliable predictor of sound lubrication monitoring is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for the practice within engineering and maintenance work as they go. The content is relevant to those who own oil analysis and lubrication monitoring and to those who are held accountable for its results. Plans for this strand of engineering and maintenance work often fail at the handover point between functions. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on lubrication monitoring and revise it on evidence. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in oil analysis and lubrication monitoring, not around theory headings. Participants leave with a plan for lubrication monitoring sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Estimate what lubrication monitoring costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.
Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on oil analysis and lubrication monitoring.
Handle the trade-offs in lubrication monitoring between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.
Set acceptance criteria for oil analysis and lubrication monitoring before work begins rather than after.
Determine the failure modes of lubrication monitoring and the consequence of each.
Build the inspection and test plan covering oil analysis and lubrication monitoring.

Course Modules
Oil analysis and lubrication monitoring: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reading the current state of oil analysis and lubrication monitoring honestly
- Choose the maintenance strategy for oil analysis and lubrication monitoring based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Prepare the summary of lubrication monitoring that senior management will read.
- Anticipate the objections oil analysis and lubrication monitoring will raise and prepare the answers.
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on lubrication monitoring.
Session 2How lubrication monitoring actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Set the review interval for oil analysis and lubrication monitoring and who attends.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on lubrication monitoring.
- Set maintenance indicators for oil analysis and lubrication monitoring that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to lubrication monitoring.
Lubrication monitoring: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on lubrication monitoring that keeps returning
- Agree what will be standardised in oil analysis and lubrication monitoring and what will not.
- Agree the smallest change to lubrication monitoring that would be visibly useful.
- Investigate repeat failures on oil analysis and lubrication monitoring to root cause, not to component.

- Verify six months later that changes to lubrication monitoring have held.
- List the credible failure modes of oil analysis and lubrication monitoring and the consequence of each.
