Publisher's Note

The past month has seen the much anticipated first budget by our new government. With a significant focus on development especially towards manufacturing and infrastructure, I feel this budget should set things in motion towards a speedy recovery of the economy as a whole.

In the last issue we gained an insight into how to purchase lubricants based on performance. It is becoming increasingly important to understand lubricants and what makes them work. As more and more research suggests that the conditions under which lubrication is performed is as important as the quality of the lubricant, it is important to probe deeper into whether one is getting the maximum out their lubrication program.

Finally by concentrating on performance specifications, total fluid management ( TFM ) will take a whole new dimension. If you choose to go this route, you will see tangible and intangible benefi ts of a scientifically designed program which are tailored to your requirements.

In the current issue we will share with you the secrets of becoming a world class PM facility. The primary goal in any industry is maintaining safe and reliable equipment. This involves getting the maximum uptime at the lowest cost of operation and extending the as-designed usable life. The fundamental cornerstone of this proposition is effective lubrication in concert with preventive and predictive maintenance tasks that are carried out in a quality manner.

Readers will also find an informative article by Jim Fitch on the hazards of changing lubricant brands and the strategy to implement to ensure a safe changeover.
