Key Responsibilities

Root Cause Analysis and FMECA/RCM Support:

• Lead training to utilize the Maximo-integrated, 5-Why RCA’s and Troubleshooting as a part of keeping the Mechanical, Electrical and Process FMECA/RCM alive to drive down highest Pareto valued production losses.

• Actively participate in the Corporate Weekly Reliability Teams Meetings, training, webinars, SMRP, and Reliability Magazine subscriptions in order to keep up to date with reliability knowledge, techniques and methodologies and provide support for continued reliability improvements and development. • Lead initiatives for corporate surveys, questionnaires and benchmarking as part of IKO Reliability Assessments.

• Utilize Prodac/Maximo interface, production loss and Maintenance cost data to lead Problem Solving / troubleshooting teams prioritized to generate the greatest value return.
• Develop and utilize a strong work relationship with the Maintenance and Operations employees to build the necessary disciplines for efficient and effective Running PdM and Shutdown PM plans that meet or exceed critical leading indicators.
• Prepare, organize and facilitate a shingle line FMECA/RCM, after detailed Pareto analysis of production losses associated with critical assets, for use in PM Optimization and corresponding Spare Parts strategy.
• Troubleshooting equipment, Design for Reliability, select and managing qualified contractors to precision-install and commission new equipment, monitor modifications, upgrades and critical parts required.
• Act as back up for the Inventory Coordinator and Planner/Scheduler during emergencies and for vacation, staying updated with the standardized format and disciplines required.
