Lubrication Program Implementation. An individual supervisor in the maintenance
department should be assigned the responsibility for implementation and continued
operation of the lubrication program. This person’s primary functions are to:

• Establish lubrication service actions and schedules.
• Define the lubrication routes by building, area, and organization.
• Assign responsibilities to specific persons.
• Train lubricators.
• Ensure that supplies of proper lubricants are stocked through the storeroom.
