• Review historical failure data, including downtime and frequency trends.
• Identify critical failure modes based on frequency, duration, and business impact.
• Participate in equipment and component failure analysis, generating recommendations and action plans.
• Apply reliability and process improvement methodologies to resolve chronic and repetitive failures.
• Develop, update, and maintain preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies.
• Create, modify, and maintain maintenance plans, route sheets, and maintenance tasks.
• Evaluate asset criticality and establish reliability strategies for critical equipment.
• Ensure critical assets have mandatory spare parts strategies and maintenance plans in place.
• Analyze equipment lifecycle data to determine remaining useful life and replacement strategies.
• Monitor equipment obsolescence and communicate risks associated with unsupported systems and components.
• Develop maintenance plans and reliability strategies for new equipment.
• Extract and apply OEM recommendations from equipment manuals and technical documentation.
• Maintain and update technical documentation, including drawings, operating manuals, spare parts manuals, and P&IDs.
• Manage the maintenance technical library and reliability documentation.
• Audit maintenance execution to ensure compliance with maintenance plans and design intent.
