This is the 2nd in a 9 part Lubrication Practices Benchmarking Study produced by Mike Johnson, CMRP and Terrence O'Hanlon, CMRP, Reliabilityweb.com.

In this second of 10 articles addressing lubrication program benchmarking we will take a look at the way lubricants are delivered, stored and handled in the plant. If you missed the previous issue you also missed the first step in grading the plant machine lubrication practice. You can find both the on-line survey and the article introducing the series and the first part of the lubrication program benchmark process at www.maintenancebenchmarking.com

Please use your best efforts to answer as accurately as possible.

If you are a service provider/contractor please answer for your largest client.

Yes answers score 1 point. We suggest you keep a running point total manually as additional information will be published with scoring keys and more detailed assessment methodologies.

You may take this survey anonymously or you may provide your contact details if you would like an advanced copy of the study report and action recommendations.
