Educate
Education is the key to insuring everyone involved in lubrication understand the importance of precision lubrication and its impact on equipment reliability. Des-Case now offers a 3-day public educational course based on the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) Body of Knowledge for Machinery Lubrication Technician (MLT) and Machinery Lubrication Analyst (MLA). This hands-on course is designed to give you not just the theory but practical tools you can use to help transform your lubrication program.
Instructors with decades of in-plant experience provide “how-to” guides for each major area of lubrication best practice. You will complete the course knowing why the suggested changes work and how you can implement them in your organization.
Package that together with hands-on labs and demonstrations—and evening entertainment featuring a hit songwriter—and you’ll have a great experience while building your knowledge of practical machinery lubrication.
