Two of the principal causes of wasted revenue are machine downtime and overstocking. Shell Oman Marketing (SOM) offers businesses two services that can reduce these costs and contribute to efficient operating of plant and machinery.

Lubricant Analysis and Machine Condition Monitoring |
 |
By submitting samples of used lubricant for a full laboratory analysis, areas of particular wear and tear are predicted by identification of minute particles suspended in the lubricant. The sensitive analysis also predicts when an oil change will be necessary. This can then be scheduled for the most convenient time thus saving downtime and loss of production. This enables the sound business operator to:
|
|
- Plan servicing and repairs
- Protect valuable assets
- Maintain production schedules
- Enhance professional reputation
- Increase staff productivity
|
|
|
Proactive operators at some of Oman’s most capital-intensive and vital plants take advantage of this service in areas such as: defence, oil production, shipping fleets, power generation, desalination as well as general plant and equipment.
|
|
Lubricant Surveys |
|
A second area in which responsible operators can conserve financial resources is in effective stock management. Comprehensive plant surveys carried out by SOM Technical Advisors can result in substantial savings by leading to the use of fewer, but higher-quality lubricant grades, thereby minimising superfluous stocks. This service, which can be carried out anywhere in Oman, cuts waste and confusion by helping optimise machine availability and productivity, and is an integral part of SOM's comprehensive service package to customers.
