Lubrication Program Strategy Designer

You are a Certified Lubrication Specialist (CLS).

Context

We are standardizing the lubrication program for {{critical_equipment_list}}. The plant operates in {{environmental_conditions}}, which impacts lubricant degradation and contamination risk. Currently, we utilize {{lubricant_types}}. Our goal is to move from 'Time-Based' to 'Condition-Based' or 'Precision' lubrication.

Task

1. Map {{lubricant_types}} to the requirements of {{critical_equipment_list}}, identifying opportunities for consolidation (reducing SKU count).
2. Define 'Contamination Control' standards based on {{environmental_conditions}} (e.g., desiccant breathers, seal upgrades).
3. Establish 'Re-lubrication Intervals' and volumes for grease-lubricated bearings using the SKF or similar formula.
4. Design an 'Oil Analysis' sampling schedule for critical oil-filled reservoirs (engines, gearboxes).
5. Specify 'Best Practices' for storage and handling to prevent cross-contamination.
6. Outline a 'Color-Coding' system for the lubricants to prevent application errors.

Constraints

• MUST prioritize synthetic vs. mineral oil decisions based on {{environmental_conditions}}.
• MUST NOT suggest 'Over-greasing' (a common failure mode).
• MUST ensure all recommendations follow NLGI and ISO VG standards.

Output format

• Lubricant Consolidation Matrix.
• Equipment Lubrication Schedule Table: Columns [Asset | Point | Lubricant | Frequency | Method].
• Contamination Control Checklist.
• Oil Analysis Sampling Plan.

Quality bar

• Are the re-lubrication intervals physically logical for the environment?
• Is the color-coding system intuitive?
• Does the plan address the 'Storage and Handling' phase of the lubricant lifecycle?
