Course Code | LUB-104 |
Duration | 5 Days |
Level | Intermediate–Advanced |
Category | Technology |
Target Audience | Maintenance engineers, reliability engineers, lubrication technicians, and plant managers in manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industry. |
Course Overview
This course applies lubrication best practices to industrial asset reliability. Participants learn how to design lubrication programs, conduct oil analysis, identify lubricant-related failure modes, and reduce maintenance costs through proactive lubrication management aligned with ISO 55001 asset management principles.
Learning Objectives
• Develop and implement a plant-wide lubrication management program
• Select the correct lubricant for each machine type and application
• Interpret used oil analysis reports to identify incipient failures
• Reduce lubricant-related downtime and extend machine life
• Apply contamination control best practices in industrial facilities
5-Day Course Agenda
Day | Title | Key Topics |
Day 1 | Industrial Machine Lubrication Principles | Gearboxes, bearings, compressors, pumps, hydraulics; lubrication points mapping; re-lubrication intervals; automatic lubrication systems |
Day 2 | Lubricant Selection & Consolidation | Application-based selection criteria; viscosity selection charts; cross-referencing brands; lubricant consolidation to reduce SKUs |
Day 3 | Used Oil Analysis (UOA) Program | Sampling techniques and frequency; ICP elemental analysis; particle counting; viscosity and TAN/TBN monitoring; ferrography; alarm limits and interpretation |
Day 4 | Contamination Control & Storage | Particle contamination targets (ISO 4406); water contamination; filtration strategies; kidney-loop filtration; lubricant storage room design; color-coding and labelling |
Day 5 | Lubrication Program Implementation & KPIs | CMMS integration for lubrication tasks; training lubrication technicians; cost-benefit of lubrication excellence; KPIs: lubricant consumption, MTBF, related failures |
Training Methodology
Structured presentations, oil analysis report interpretation workshops, lubrication audit exercises, and group development of a sample lubrication management plan.
