- We have set goals and metrics however they are rarely if ever reviewed by the maintenance group
- We have yet to define goals or outline metrics for our program
- We currently do not track any lubrication related metrics
2. How would you categorize your maintenance strategy?*
- Reactive or Run-to-failure
- Preventive - Time Based
- Predictive - Condition based maintenance
- Proactive - Redesign
- Redundancy
3. Check the obstacles listed below which are inhibiting you from achieving your initiatives:*
- Management does not understand the vital role lubrication plays in maintenance and reliability
- Not enough staff to implement – too busy with daily work to make improvements

- Increase lubrication knowledge of Maintenance and Operation staff
- Use sensor technology to better understand equipment condition in real time
- Reduce the number of oils and greases used in the plant
- Evaluate our current program and outline improvement strategies
- Utilize contract services to implement improvement strategies
5. Choose which answer(s) best describe your continuous improvement efforts and lubrication activities:*
- We currently do not have a method which helps us identify the need for lubrication related improvements
- Needed improvements become apparent when lubrication failures occur
- Our team is constantly looking for new ways to improve our lubrication program

- Our lubrication program is fully integrated in a round table dialog with other condition-based technologies including vibration analysis, infrared imaging and acoustic ultrasonic testing
- Teams are assembled to identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives
- We realize lubrication has a lot of value, however, we seem to be stuck reacting to lubricant problems and are not being proactive
- Lubrication is considered an as-time permits activity in our plant
7. Check all that apply related to your oil analysis program:*
- Oil analysis results dictate and drive our maintenance activities
- We pull oil samples as time permits and do not adhere to a prescribed schedule
- We value analytics and perform a full spectrum of tests at a consistent frequency
- Lowest price is the most important factor to us when selecting an oil lab
- Our oil analysis is performed by our lubricant supplier
- We only look at oil analysis results post failure (post mortem)
- We rely solely on the oil lab we use to interpret our results
- We primarily extract oil samples from the equipment drain port
- The location for oil sampling differs from machine to machine and can be different depending on who is taking the oil sample
- We have installed fixed sampling hardware to ensure safe, representative and repeatable samples
- We are not currently taking oil samples from any component or system
