The method of the lubrication audit and the experiences of it. Implementation of Lubrication Management System in MOL Group refineries

Lubricant audit means a special focus on the correspondence between lubricants and their usage. In these surveys lubricant producers expose their customers to the current situation and give them improvement proposals in an audit report.

After a successfully performed lubricant audit this solution can be extended with a higher level service, support of Lubrication Management System software. This can make the daily routine work of the maintenance staff easier and gives the possibility for the management to create reports from the software database. The implementation of LMS software contributes to the reduction of the total cost of the operation and the downtimes coming from the failures of machines meanwhile the operational safety will be increased.
