Frequently asked questions
Why is it called Ascend?
Recommendations are built on Noria’s Ascend methodology, which aligns with the requirements of the ISO 55001 and ICML 55.1 as well. Unlike most lubrication assessments, Noria’s Ascend Assessment is comprehensive, evaluating lubricant, hardware, training and procedures. We’ll then use the collected data to assist you in establishing next steps.
How long does the process take?
The Ascend Assessment process takes three days. A Noria lubrication expert will visit your site to collect program information. On day three, you will receive your full assessment and report along with access to lubrication training.
Do I really need an assessment?
You may already know that your lube program needs improving, so it might seem that an assessment isn’t worth your time.
In fact, the Ascend Assessment is more than a simple program scoring system. It tells you exactly which changes to make first so you have a prioritized roadmap for improvements designed to deliver quick wins and long-term results.
