For quality management, audit preparation, and related tasks—where all parties work under pressure in a demanding environment—it is crucial to design processes efficiently. This helps enhance compliance with quality standards and regulations in production. Audit preparation and execution also become smoother and more efficient when processes are systematically optimized beforehand. Among the numerous components used in a production facility that play an essential role in ensuring smooth operations, one element that contributes to food safety is often overlooked: lubricants.
Typically, the term "food-grade lubricants" refers to products formulated to be safe for incidental or unavoidable contact with food. However, this only covers a small range of the benefits that tailored lubricants can provide. Customer-oriented lubricant manufacturers offer consultations and services that go beyond the products themselves, making valuable contributions to the organization and development of process structures. As a result, lubricant management is also a critical component in establishing efficient processes.
