Episode Description
How do we know we’ve lubricated the machine enough? How can visual devices help us be sure? Can visuality also help us avoid the wrong lubrication? In all cases, the answer is a loud and definite YES. In this show, Gwendolyn Galsworth completes the fourth and final episode on The Visual Machine®. She presents the Six Big Mistakes in Machine Lubrication and how visuality can help us avoid many of them.
1.Mistake 1: Not Enough/Not Often Enough
2.Mistake 2: No Lubrication At All
3.Mistake 3: Too Much Lubrication or Too Often
4.Mistake 4: Wrong Lubricant
5.Mistake 5: Improper Procedure
6.Mistake 6: Introducing Contaminants
Time permitting, she walks through a summary of the discussion so far, highlighting the main visual opportunities in surfacing information deficits related to the machine so they can be into an imbedded system of visual devices. Let the machine speak! Gwendolyn resumes her series on Visual Leadership for the Executive on February 5, when she returns from Scotland.
