This book takes lubricant degradation beyond identifying the problem. It focuses on finding out why the degradation occurred in the first place.
Lubrication knowledge is combined with practical Root Cause Analysis. The aim is to identify the physical, human and system causes behind lubricant failure and prevent the problem from returning.
Lubrication problems are often treated by fixing the immediate cause. This book looks deeper.
It applies Root Cause Analysis to lubricant degradation failures. The focus is not only on what happened, but why it happened and what allowed it to happen.

Robert J. Latino has more than 36 years of experience in Root Cause Analysis. He is an author, trainer and reliability practitioner with extensive experience using the PROACT® RCA methodology
Together, they combine lubrication expertise with structured Root Cause Analysis to look beyond the immediate failure and identify the physical, human and system causes behind lubricant degradation.
A practical reference for people who want to understand the real causes behind lubricant degradation and recurring lubrication problems.
