Lubrication Program Development Phase 1 ASCEND^TM Benchmarking 

Now offering both online and onsite set-up for assessments, ASCEND^TM Benchmarking is designed to assess your current lubrication program, compare it against the best practices, and design a roadmap that will guide you to achieving lubrication excellence. This phase uses a 500-point assessment survey that measures the current state of your program and ASCEND^TM Methodology that provides recommendations for improvements for the 40 key elements of a lubrication program.

Day 1 - Facility walkthrough and stakeholder interviews

Day 2 - Offsite compiling information and report development

Day 3 - Report presentation to plant stakeholders and a half-day awareness training on lubrication

This phase will deliver:

• Executive Summary
• SWOT Analysis
• Overall Compliance Level
• Lubrication Program Manager (LubePM^TM) Access
• Cost-Benefit Analysis
• Assessment of 40 Elements which include:
  • Current Maturity Grade
  • Current Best Practices
  • Improvement Recommendations
  • Metrics and KPI Recommendations
  • Periodic Review and Audit Recommendations
  • Priority Next Steps 

LubePM^TM Assessment Tools

LubePM^TM is a lubrication program manager that provides you your score overview, simulation for plant initiatives, and also serves as a Corporate Assessment Manager. In the second phase of Lubrication Program Development, you will be able to access detailed lubrication procedures in LubePM^TM. Taking the work out of work management so you can focus on what you do best, LubePM^TM automatically creates tasks that are specified to each lubricated asset.

Lubrication Program Development Phase 2 Program Engineering

In order to eliminate failure, CRE designs, standardizes, and specifies step-by-step procedures for each lubricated asset that will make it easier for any new technicians or personnel to follow and perform. Following an engineered approach in designing your program, this phase aims to deliver a database complete with improvement recommendations, collected data including images, detailed work procedures, consolidated lubricant recommendations, and hardware modification recommendations.

Route Optimization

In LPD Phase 2, we will engineer a more efficient and effective approach to help you save on time so that your team can focus more on doing strategic tasks. Wrench time, inspections, lubrication, and oil sampling tasks will all be streamlined for a more optimized process and maximized uptime.
