Understanding Route Mapping

What is Lubrication Route Mapping?

Lubrication route mapping is a systematic approach to organizing and optimizing lubrication tasks for cooling system components, ensuring consistent maintenance and maximum equipment reliability.

This strategic planning tool creates efficient pathways for technicians to follow during lubrication rounds, incorporating proper sequencing, optimal timing, and comprehensive coverage of all critical cooling system components. Effective route mapping is essential for maintaining optimal coolant system performance and preventing premature component wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lubrication Route Map FAQs

Get answers to common questions about implementing lubrication route mapping

Lubrication routes should be reviewed quarterly and updated whenever equipment changes, new assets are added, or performance data indicates inefficiencies. Major route revisions typically occur annually based on comprehensive performance reviews and seasonal check requirements.

Optimal route duration is 2-4 hours for daily routes and 4-6 hours for weekly comprehensive routes. Routes should be designed to complete within a single shift while allowing adequate time for proper lubrication procedures, including inspection and documentation at each point.

Route maps should coordinate with filter management schedules to combine tasks efficiently. When filter changes are due, routes can be adjusted to include filter inspection and replacement, minimizing equipment downtime and maximizing maintenance efficiency.

Key performance indicators include route completion time, percentage of points serviced on schedule, lubricant consumption per route, equipment availability improvements, bearing failure rates, and cost per lubrication point. These metrics help optimize routes and demonstrate program value.

Yes, effective route maps include provisions for emergency lubrication requests. Flexible scheduling allows for priority insertions while maintaining regular route integrity. Digital systems can automatically adjust routes to accommodate urgent needs without disrupting overall maintenance schedules.
