There are many benefits to the consolidation of lu

There are many benefits to the consolidation of lubricants, but here are a few that stand out: Reduced Cost of Inventory, Reduced Human Error, Reduced HSE Risks, Reduced Operational Costs.

Reduced Cost of Inventory - For warehouses that stock many types of lubricants, there is a cost attached to holding these high stock levels, especially when the lubricants will not be consumed as quickly.

However, with a consolidated stock, these levels can deplete at a faster rate than the specialty one or two lubricants, which may be used occasionally by certain assets. This helps to reduce the overall holding cost of the stock.

I know I’m going to get into some trouble for this post, but I needed to see the data.

I’ve been reviewing the data for the countries which have visited Strategic Reliability Solutions website over the last year, and I was quite surprised when google said that 236 countries visited. 😮

If you “google” the number of countries in the world you would get 195, so of course I had to do some more research…and down the rabbit hole I went (my engineer brain couldn’t help it!). 🤨

Even though places (I can’t say countries) exist with their own governing systems (and flag), it doesn’t make them a country (WHAT?!). 🤯

Apparently SRSL has not touched 7 of the countries in the world (check the comments for that list) but we’re present in a number of “countries” (and now I have to use that term loosely) which may not have made it to the legit country list (as per google).

Some of those non-countries are Caribbean islands, US states (like Puerto Rico), Christmas Island (how is this not a country?!) and a couple more.

Fun fact!

A comprehensive operations strategy is a critical

A comprehensive operations strategy is a critical element to driving business success.

Strategic planning and development are essential for any organization to be successful.

The management of a facility’s assets is vital for achieving their organizational and corporate goals and objectives.

Strategies are developed based upon scenario analysis which includes measurable objectives and the expected economic, environmental, and social performance of the organization’s asset portfolio using common sense and practical approaches.

Andy Gager of AMG International Consulting partners with leadership to develop improvement strategies based on performance gap analysis and utilizing best-in-class processes.

The remaining 4 S factors can also be included in

The remaining 4 S factors can also be included in our journey to improve the overall quality of our approach to machinery lubrication.

Once we have “Sorted” our lubricants by making sure we have what is necessary, we can move on to “Set these in order.”

In this step, we can ensure that all the types of lubricants are stored in a clean, dry, cool place away from water, direct sunlight, or drastic temperature changes.

We can also observe the “FIFO” rules, where the first lubricant that enters the warehouse is also the first to leave and be used in the equipment.

Additionally, we can have lists stating the assets in which the assigned oils are to be used and place matching tags on the equipment and dispensing containers to reduce mix-ups of the wrong lubricant being used.

Sharing stories helps us to understand what others

Sharing stories helps us to understand what others are going through or have gone through in the past. We learn from their challenges, celebrate their successes and most importantly use the lessons to help the future generations.

It has been my honour to share over 70 stories from men and women over the past few years through the Empowering Women in STEM series of books from CRC Press, Taylor & Francis @tandfresearch .

These stories show the determination and passion of individuals who are literally changing the world in their own way. They are the true heroes and accelerate action in everything that they do.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate the latest group of inspiring authors for the 3rd book in the series, “Empowering Women in STEM – Pioneering Paths to Shape the Future”.

Thank you all for Accelerating Action by sharing your stories.

The book will be available on 16th June, 2025! Add it to your wishlist!

When walking into many facilities, there are usual

When walking into many facilities, there are usually a lot of oil drums, buckets, or items used for lubrication scattered all over the facility.

However, some facilities are fully equipped, nicely stocked, and have dedicated lube rooms.

The first step in our process is determining what is needed and what is not.

In this case, the best place to start is with an inventory list developed by physically identifying the items on the plant. If this is the first time this exercise is being conducted, then it is critical to perform this check in person rather than rely on the information entered into the CMMS (if one exists).

Sometimes, not all the information may have been captured in the CMMS when it was entered initially.
