Why a CMMS Alone Falls Short for Reliable Lubrication Maintenance
While a CMMS can aid overall maintenance management, it falls short as an effective lubrication management system solution alone for five key reasons. In this webinar, Noria expert Wes Cash outlines why a CMMS alone is insufficient for lubrication management and explores alternative solutions better suited for the task.
The Power of LubePM – A Hands-On Demonstration
Join us for a comprehensive overview of the LubePM Lubrication Management System. In this 40-minute video, we will provide live demonstrations of key LubePM features and functionality to help you understand how this innovative software can optimize lubrication accountability, compliance, and reliability at your facility.
Why LubePM?
As a Lubrication Management System (LMS) engineered by lubrication professionals, LubePM helps an organization create accountability to ensure that every lubrication point is carefully maintained, inspected and measured.
Without the enabling resource of a full-scale LMS, plants are susceptible to faulty and incomplete lubrication.
A CMMS falls short because it:
- Does not provide the necessary depth for a modern precision maintenance program; and
- Does not provide adequate job planning, task management and inventory control
We need to stop relying on rigid CMMS structures that cannot serve lubrication requirements completely and with the necessary precision. An LMS like LubePM can provide the necessary information and programmatic features to enable lubrication to serve as a pillar of precision maintenance and world-class reliability.

Get Lubrication Right
The rules of lubrication have changed. Ensuring that lubrication excellence becomes standard practice is foundational to machine reliability. This is where LubePM excels.
LubePM auto-generates tasks with step-by-step procedures and vital lubricant information, so you’ll never grab the wrong grease or miss an inspection point again. Once a task is complete, your work is documented and saved on the cloud-based system for your team to access anytime, anywhere. Consistent, well-executed lubrication tasks are essential to long-term plant operations and reliability.

Why Lubrication is Not Manageable on a CMMS Alone
Lubrication tasks are sharply different from other maintenance and production tasks and work orders. Likewise, they are markedly different from work commonly administered and tracked by maintenance management systems or CMMS. While the CMMS is a powerful tool, there are several reasons why lubrication should exist outside the CMMS:
The number of tasks generated in a lubrication program
Lubrication has tasks that need to be completed daily (and sometimes even multiple times a day). A CMMS specializes in PMs that are done routinely but typically not at this level of periodicity. This results in too many tasks, leading to missed work from the CMMS.
A lack of critical lubrication information
The critical information needed to accurately lubricate a piece of equipment is seldom codified and associated with the CMMS asset list or hierarchy. This information might include detailed inspection points, the volume of lubricant, the type of lubricant, the proper procedure to lubricate the component and other pertinent data.
Hierarchy constraints
The hierarchy of CMMS constrains where lubrication tasks should be assigned. For many, the PM exists at the machine level, but realistically, the lubrication work occurs at the component/maintenance point level. A single machine could have hundreds of lube points, and inspection points toward which the CMMS provides no specificity.
Lubrication-centric metrics
Lubrication is a program, much like maintenance is a program. Most CMMSs allow for tracking metrics related to maintenance but are not specific or detailed enough to provide critical metrics for lubrication. This is a Deming problem: If we can’t observe it, we can’t improve.

Provide Asset Management Best Practices with LubePM
The phrase Lubrication Management System exists in ICML 55, the global standard from the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML). Dozens of worldwide experts in lubrication, maintenance and reliability wrote this standard to achieve optimized lubrication of mechanical and physical assets.
The industry is focusing on reliability and sustainability initiatives, and to achieve these initiatives, people are looking at global standards such as ISO 55000 and ICML 55. LubePM is a conduit for achieving standards of asset management that focus on precision maintenance and reliability, thus ensuring the sustainable operation of a plant.
Asset management may involve physical assets such as equipment, human resource assets such as people, and knowledge assets such as documentation and training. All of these must be analyzed, and a management system put in place to ensure lubrication tasks are done consistently, accurately and completely.
