This is a self-paced course on Machinery Lubrication Engineer

Learn to take a holistic approach toward developing, implementing and managing a world-class lubrication program with the Machinery Lubrication Engineer (MLE) ® course. This course will equip you to overcome strategic challenges and provide effective lubrication engineering leadership in a typical industrial plant, mill or site.


What you’ll learn
• Manage a successful lubrication team, including technicians and analysts
• Optimize your plant’s selection and maintenance of lubricants
• Plan lubrication Preventative Maintenance (PM) tasks and work orders
• Analyze lubrication-related failures through FMEA, RCFA and other approaches
• Evaluate capital expenditures using economic analysis methods
• Maintain lubricated machine assets in the context of ICML 55.01 and ISO 55001
• And many other key topics for lubrication leaders


Who should attend?
This course is designed for those who have already acquired foundational lubrication knowledge through prior lubrication training, ICML certifications, or 5 to 10 years of field experience. While there are no mandatory pre-requisites for this course, those who have a working knowledge of lubrication concepts along with a few years of field experience will be more comfortable with the material.


Course content
The MLE course contains 28 hours of material taught over four days. It is fully aligned with the body of knowledge of the International Council for Machinery Lubrication’s MLE certification.
