  • Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, Plant Manager or Enterprise Reliability Engineering Manager this position will enhance Asset Reliability through technical support to the Maintenance function, with the goal of optimizing the Time-based (PM) and Condition-based Maintenance (CbM) processes resulting in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improvements. This role will analyze Equipment History, and including Statistical Analysis, Predictive technologies, Non-destructive Test, and creative Problem Solving to rectify equipment issues causing significant or repetitive failures. This position will focus on data analytics of past failures and current equipment condition to make meaningful impacts to future Equipment Effectiveness.
  • Facilitating RCM Analysis workshops on the top 5% of facility assets by critically raking.
  • Utilizing statistical tools such as Weibull Analysis to determine failure rate curves
  • Collaborating with Maintenance Planners to develop failure mode driven maintenance procedures based upon RCM Analysis results.
  • Coordinating with asset owners and maintenance management to secure understanding, approval, and endorsement of maintenance strategies.
  • Own the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Program. This includes defining, designing, developing, facilitating, monitoring, and refining the program. RCA program management may include:
  • Conducting Bad Actor Analysis (BAA) to determine significance and facilitating Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to pinpoint the origins of Performance, Availability, and Quality issues.
