What is the total cost of lubrication? Add to that the cost of the lubricant, the frequency of service (how often the oil is greased or changed), the cost of labor to perform routine service, the life span of sacrificed parts (how long the parts replaceable with the current lubricant last), the cost of labor to replace replace replaceable parts when needed, the cost of standard downtime for scheduled lubrication or replacement of scheduled parts, the cost of emergency or unscheduled downtime on labor to carry it out and loss of productivity, the impact of lubricants on energy use (whether by burning fuels or electricity).
In addition, concepts such as reliability, overall productivity or uptime, competitiveness, better use of labour, etc. must be taken into account. All of these concepts are very important to those who run today's intensely competitive industrial and business operations.
SWEPCO's value-added services support customers in their goal of TOTAL LUBRICATION COST REDUCTION, a concept that goes far beyond the cost and life of the lubricant.
