| On
April 23, 2003 we asked:
"Your company has switched
to a new lubricant supplier (Supplier B). You are no longer
able to buy lubricants from the previous supplier (Supplier
A).
All of your machines currently
use lubricants from Supplier A. Some of these machines
are small oil compartments (gears, bearings, etc.) that
need occasional top-ups and annual oil changes. Other
machines are large circulating oil systems for which oil
is changed “on condition”, based on oil analysis. Many
motor and fan bearings are grease lubricated.
The lube storage room has containers
of the Supplier A products but now Supplier B products
are beginning to arrive. People are asking questions about
compatibility and other reliability impacts the transition
might cause. What would you do?"
