71 – Issues with Lubrication Programs with David Pedden
Issues with Lubrication Programs with David Pedden
It is not possible to keep your equipment operating at efficiency and for high productivity if you are not lubricating the machines properly. That is why it is so vital to use the right lubricant to avoid any breakdowns or other failures in your systems. You have to always keep an eye for the contamination because it alone can cause severe damage. When you apply the lubricants poorly, there are a hundred things that go wrong with the handling of the machines and in a result causes problems for your storage strategy.

70 – Understanding Oil Analysis with David Pedden
Understanding Oil Analysis with David Pedden
Oil analysis is a very important part of any lubrication program. Oil is an essential ingredient for your equipment and provides a strong bottom line. When there are contaminants in your oil, your equipment fails more often than it is supposed to. That means you have to get more spare parts, buy more lubricants and deal with increased downtime. When the condition of your oil is good—that is where the oil analysis comes in for making sure it is—your machines work properly. In a result, you save a lot of money by purchasing the right amount of oil.

Using Reliability Software with Fred Schenkelberg
When it comes to reliability modeling, there are a lot of variables involved that you need to look at before you go into the design phase. It is not possible for a human mind to make all these statistical calculations and run analysis—varying from simple to complex data analysis. That is where a reliability modeling software is needed. Now there are a lot of software available in the market for different purposes but you need to be clear about your needs first. The software assists you by running simulations based on different models.
