Machinery Lubrication July August 2008

• Training of site personnel in improved
lubrication practices
Team Effort
“Team Wahpeton” is the motto of the
Wahpeton facility, and this effort is demonstrated
by the total integration of Cargill
personnel along with embedded contractors
such as Allied Reliability and UGL Unicco
Services. These companies work together in a
seamless effort to make this plant operate at
peak efficiency and reliability.
The Wahpeton facility demonstrates
what may be accomplished when traditional
barriers between a parent company and
contracted service providers can be bridged
to make the whole team a family unit. The
Wahpeton plant also recently enjoyed recognition
by receiving IndustryWeek magazine’s
Best Plant and Cargill’s Best Plant awards
for 2007.
Nominations are Welcome
Both awards are open to companies
worldwide, independent of any involvement
in the Council. A company does not need to
be a member of ICML to apply. The council
does not charge any fees to applicant
companies and it does not nominate companies
for the awards. Companies need to
apply for the awards directly. Vendors and
other industry practitioners may nominate a
company and ICML will contact it to verify
its interest in applying for one of the awards.
Information on the council’s awards
program, including the criteria for each
award can be found at www.lubecouncil.org.
Information on the oil analysis program at
Coal Creek Station as well as Cargill
Wahpeton’s lubrication program will be
covered in this column in upcoming issues of
Machinery Lubrication.
Need to take an exam?
ICML regularly holds exam sessions throughout the
United States and the world. Upcoming dates and
locations for ICML exams can be found at
