1. Regularly inspect and maintain equipment to ensure optimal performance and prevent breakdowns.
2. Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and other system malfunctions.
3. Develop and execute preventive maintenance plans to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
4. Keep detailed logs of maintenance activities, repairs, and inspections for compliance and future reference.
5. Collaborate with production, quality control, and other teams to ensure smooth operations and address maintenance concerns.
