The 5,000 Hours You Lose When Nobody's Watching

Same site. Same fleet. Same final drives, same duty. Oneera: final drives ran to 20,000 hours before rebuild. A few years later: 15,000.
Nobody decided to stop watching the oil. It just stopped being anyone's daily job.
Pete and Drew break down FLAC (Fuel, Lubricant, Air, Coolant) as the full chain, not just an occasional oil sample: receiving and storing it clean, dispensing it right, monitoring it in service, and acting on what the results tell you. Three people control it day to day: the Maintainer at the dispensing point, the Storeman responsible for clean bulk supply, and the Engineer setting the target and following through on results.
Break Tip: Tomorrow morning, go have a look at your main dispensing point in the workshop, or the quick fill points on anasset's components. Check two things: are fill points capped or protected from the elements when not in use, and is the area around them clean? If you don't have a cleanliness standard, start there. If you do, treat what you find as a work quality education opportunity.
