Lubrication Program Strategic Planning

Success cannot be achieved without a clear plan and direction.

That requires a clearly defined Strategy and Supporting Tactics.

Leadership sets the expectations, established the goals and objectives and then frequently reinforces by demonstrated interest and outward, vocal and visible support of the initiative.
