Description
Enter the world of oil analysis interpretation; come learn from real world examples from a variety of industries, how to properly analyze and action oil analysis results. All the case studies discussed are all real world examples from both mobile fleets and stationary equipment. Using these real world examples you will gain a greater understanding of detection limits, interferences, repeatability, reproducibility and other laboratory terminology regularly used. Learn the importance of selecting a proper laboratory and what you should expect your laboratory to provide to you. This workshop will also look at examples from a systemic point of view, such as extending oil drain intervals, filtration projects, and warranty claims. Finally we will review oil analysis success stories, leading and lagging indicators, and a business case to help you maximize your return on investment of your oil analysis program.
