For companies that are looking to overhaul their lubrication management procedures, or simply
looking to increase their performance, FEPL can provide you an independent audit that will help you
improve the performance of your facility.
Step 1 – Identify Areas for Evaluation
Every plant is different. FEPL works with you to understand what the challenges are, what the evaluation
needs to focus on, and what the desired outcomes are.
Areas of Focus
Lubrication Standards and Procurement
Review how standards are set for facility lubricants, how lubricants are purchased and best practices
for consolidating and rationalizing lubricants.
Storage and Handling
Evaluate contaminant exposure (air borne particulates and water), including cross contamination, initial
fill procedures and contamination control methods.
Data And Feedback Systems
Step 2 – Audit Execution
With a full understanding of what your needs are, FEPL develops an audit plan including timetables and
personnel requirements. The audit is then executed with the facility personnel participating at every
stage of the evaluation.
FEPL collects as much possible hard data including pervious performance data, its own baseline and
follow-up data from equipment, as well as soft data from observations of the facility, personnel
activities and personnel interviews.
Step 3 – Report and Roadmap
After the audit is complete FEPL provides a full report that provides a thorough understanding of where
the plant is and a road map to help it achieve significant improvements. There are any number of
companies that provide these types of services. Most of these companies provide textbook solutions that
are ill fitted to your situation or cost prohibitive.
Oil Mist System Evaluation
If you don’t have an oil mist lubrication system, we can perform a full plant analysis that provides you
with all the information you need to decide if an oil mist lubrication system is right for you. This
includes determining which oil mist system is best for you, outlining equipment requirements, designing
an installation execution plan, and a cost‐benefit analysis.
