Transitioning to a New Lube Supplier
Everett Lear, Maintenance Supervisor, Weyerhaeuser
As a Maintenanance Supervisor in a new $100M, State of the Art,
Particleboard Plant, I have been responsible for coordinating
the setup and management of our plant Lubrication Program for
the two years since plant startup.
I would require my new supplier's Engineering Support Group
to provide me documentation relative to their reviewing each of
my equipment applications to first ensure that their recommended
lubricant met the manufacturer's specifications and second address
compatability between the old and new lubricant. Any applications
with identified compatability problems would be changed out at
the next available Equipment Shutdown.
