Area 3:

• Develop and implement a comprehensive asset reliability and integrity program, encompassing criticality assessments, risk management, and performance monitoring.
• Conduct annual criticality assessments of mill assets, utilizing tools like ACR (Asset Criticality Ranking) to prioritize maintenance efforts and allocate resources effectively.
• Analyze and mitigate the probability and consequences of asset failures, employing methodologies like RPN (Risk Priority Number) to quantify and manage risks.
• Develop and implement a system for communicating production risks associated with each asset, ensuring stakeholders are informed and prepared.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and best practices in asset reliability and integrity management.
• Build and maintain the asset historical data, and ensure that the data is used to improve the maintenance program.
