This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Certified Machinery Lubrication Engineer (MLE): ISO 18436-4/ICML Certification. It covers the basic elements of asset management, ISO 55000 and ICML 55; the machine reliability, machine maintenance and condition-based maintenance; the fundamentals of tribology, friction, wear and lubrication; and the lubricant formulation for machine types to achieve optimum reliability, engineering consumption, safety and environmental protection. Further, the course will also discuss the job-and-task-based skills including the training related to lubrication and reliability by user organizations; the lubrication support facilities needed in plants and work sites; the risk management for lubricated machines; the optimum machine modifications and features needed to achieve and sustain reliability goals; and the lubricant selection for optimum reliability, safety, energy consumption and environmental protection based on machine type and application.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the lubrication-related planning, scheduling and work processing; the periodic lubrication maintenance tasks and inspection of lubricated machines for optimum reliability, safety, environmental protection and condition monitoring; the lubricant analysis and condition monitoring for optimum reliability objectives including fault/failure troubleshooting, root cause analysis (RCA) and remediation; the supplier compliance/alignment and procurement of services and products; the waste and used lubricant management and environmental compliance; the energy conservation, environmental protection, health and safety, oil reclamation, decontamination, de-varnishing and additive reconstruction; the lubrication during standby, storage and commissioning; and the program metrics and continuous improvement.
