Repair & Maintenance and Asset Management – Sparring partner for the Production, Operators and other stakeholders. Guides efforts to ensure reliability and maintainability of equipment, processes, utilities, facilities, controls and safety/security systems – Tracks production losses and exceeding maintenance cost assets, find ways to reduce those losses or high costs. These losses are prioritized to focus efforts on the largest/most critical opportunities. Develop a plan to eliminate or reduce the losses through root cause analysis, obtains approval of the plan and facilitates the implementation. – Initiates all root cause failure analysis for any breakdown resulting in lost production, which can include PPSR, 6 sigma. This includes analysis of predictive maintenance data like oil analysis and applying statistical techniques to interpret the results. – Analyzes predictive and preventive maintenance data and using this data determine the replacement or repair schedule with the intention of reducing maintenance costs for key operating equipment while maintaining the operational availability goals. – Define, design, develop, monitor and refine an asset maintenance plan and work with Production to perform analyses of assets including: – Asset utilization – Overall equipment effectiveness – Remaining useful life – Other parameters that define operating condition, reliability and costs of assets |
