Martin Williamson BSc(Mech)Eng MLE MLAIII MLTII Martin is a graduate Mechanical Engineer from the University of Cape Town and began his maintenance career working in the mining industry. This experience included condition monitoring with a focus on oil analysis and Tribology. In 1994, Martin joined Pall Filtration in the UK and provided technical support on their contamination monitoring instruments to clients in a variety of industries. He later joined Entek IRD to work in product management of their oil analysis tools, as well as providing a technical support role including training on oil analysis to international clients. For the last 10 years, he has

been presenting training classes and undertaking consulting projects on an international level on behalf of Noria Corp and other key clients such as BP, Dow Corning, Marathon Oil and Cargill. He attained his CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) status with SMRP (Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals) and has been involved with ICML (International Council for Machinery Lubrication), as well as working on various related ISO working groups. Martin is currently managing director of KEW Engineering Ltd.

Daniel C Shorten IEng MIMarEST, MLE, LA Cat III, Cert AM Professional

I believe that the gathering of good quality and relevant machinery data is critical to managing machinery performance in a modern en-gineering context. I also believe that the majority of engineers, maintainers and asset managers agree that better intelligence leads to better decision making. I have been helping companies and indi-viduals to develop the way they do maintenance to and bring insight and value to their businesses all of my adult life. As a hybrid practitioner, with experience both at the working end of a machine as well as the development end of strategic maintenance planning and compliance, I am continually developing alternative ways to improve reliability, reduce failures and eliminate repeat of-fending. In my honest opinion ALL unplanned failures are avoidable and good lubrication costs you less in the long run. For those who may not yet know me…I am a Machinery Lubrication Engineer (ICML – MLE) a certified Asset Management specialist (IAM) and Oil Based Condi-tion Monitoring Specialist (ISO 18436 pt 4 Cat III). I have over 30 years’ experience in regard to the optimization of maintenance management and condition monitoring in marine, offshore and land-based industrial process and manufac-turing facilities. I am a time served mechanical engineer and have been a practicing lubrica-tion engineer with Century Oils and Fuchs Lubricants. Then a surveyor grade oil analyst and latterly as lead maintenance management specialist for Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, my skill-set is unique and broad. I relish educating and training, problem-solving and helping to improve performance in relia-bility and machinery condition management. Acting as both a facilitator and in coaching younger engineers and free thinkers to embrace enhanced working methods, I really look for-ward to building working relationships which deliver optimized reliable operations.

What the three-day course covers:

Regulation and compliance needs

Reviewing corporate standards of excellence and compliance e.g. Asset Management, Quality Management, Safety Management, Risk Management, production efficiency, OEE etc.

Management Standards

Reviewing asset management standards that align business objective from boardroom to shop floor easing investment decisions without conflict between department.

Health and Safety

Reviewing HSE from a number of perspectives - risks in performing tasks and protective devices deemed necessary for personal safety - through to understanding H&S data sheets (SDS) and differentiating between marketing literature - product data and H&S data.

Environment Reviewing the aspects of maintenance that have a potential environmental impact - from the carbon miles associated with distant spares to the production of waste and emissions due to lubricant selection issues.

Business needs

Reviewing regulatory constraints to effectively create a minimum standard in addition to the HSE and Environmental targets of the company which may exceed the minimum standard and be in place to improve reputation etc. In addition, reviewing the added business needs such as financial planning and cashflow.

Maintenance management policy and strategy development

Reviewing General maintenance strategies Building a maintenance management system; Paperbased or CMMS /

Scheduled/Planned/Predictive/Proactive Inventory Asset register and registration Assessment of installed risk - FMECA - prioritization of activities - Likelihood

x Consequence x Detectability Mitigation of risk Re-design, run to failure and the significance of hidden failures RCM, CM, CBM, PdM, AI and Machine learning - IIoT etc.

Lubrication related Aspects

Reviewing: Base oils, additives and thickeners Lubrication regimes and theory Tribology basics to include lubricant properties testing Machine specific lubrication needs, upgrades, tasks and inspections Industry standards related to lubricants (ISO, API, ILSAC, ACEA etc.)

Condition Monitoring and Oil Analysis Aspects

Reviewing: Sampling methodology and machine specific design for sampling Laboratory selection criteria Programme management including metrics and performance measurement. Setting alarms and limits

Please review the Body of Knowledge provided by the ICML and we suggest that prior to attending the course you should familiarise yourself with the relevant standards listed, in particular ICML 55 and ISO 55000. The Machinery Lubrication Engineering examination is one hundred and fifty questions consisting of four options over four hours with a break.
