When training is the right next step
Training is particularly valuable where:
Lubrication practices vary between shifts
Audit findings reference knowledge gaps
Repeat failures occur
New systems or products are being introduced
A structured reliability culture is being developed
If lubrication standards rely on individual experience rather than shared knowledge, structured training can provide consistency and control.
The service men who actually have to operate the system have only praise for the product. Delivery and costs have lived up to their promises.
