Maintain equipment to sustain growth – Three ways to enhance your maintenance programme

1. EDUCATION: it’s essential that staff know how to optimise operations so that equipment performs at its peak. Expert led training programme, Shell LubeCoach, educates staff on the importance of lubrication in successful operations, sharing best-practices and techniques to advance decision making skills, improve day-to-day operations and extend equipment life.

2. APPLICATION: with productivity 12% higher in the manufacturing industry than the UK average, equipment requires robust protection against harsh operating conditions [2]. Shell LubeAdvisor experts help operators identify ways to improve their lubrication processes, and provide engineering, technical and application knowledge tailored to the size and requirements of their business, helping to improve competitive advantage.

3. OPTIMISATION: effective maintenance programmes are predictive not just reactive. Expert led oil condition monitoring service Shell LubeAnalyst, uses insights from millions of data reference points to make maintenance recommendations, helping operators identify early warning signs of potential issues before they arise and schedule the optimal time for intervention, reducing overall downtime.
