- South Haven, MI
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Promotes the use of Reliability Engineering concepts and tools to the Engineering and Production departments.
- Communicates changes and updates resulting from Strategy and Continuous Improvement efforts, and Project implementation activities.
- Assists operations and maintenance manager with equipment improvements that improve asset reliability.
- Generates change control documentation as required by reliability initiatives (i.e. Bad Actor reporting, Capital Projects, etc.)
- Writes equipment MOCs required for new equipment and or modified equipment.
- Establishes guidelines and specifications (i.e.: Task, Frequency, Materials, Skill, Calibration parameters, etc.) for properly implementing equipment Preventive Maintenance and equipment health activities.
- Develops, changes, and initiates maintenance activities (PM, CBM, lubrication, calibration, training, and spare parts) as based on analysis results (FMEA / RCM) to improve performance and equipment availability
- Identifies chronic equipment (classification based) deficiencies through “Bad Actor” and cost analysis, Failure Mode, and Effect analysis (FMEA), and equipment history reviews.
- Performs reliability analysis (FMEA / RCM) to identify root causes of chronic ongoing equipment issues.
- Updates the Maintenance Strategy and Reliability Ranking Index for equipment as based upon reliability analysis (RCM or FMEA) and bad actor reporting.
- Develops equipment reliability plans that reduce the number of failures and minimizes the effects of failures that do occur.
- Responsible for updating the criticality ranking of the assets under their care, typically using results from Bad Actor reporting and analysis, PM / Calibration Optimization and Rationalization actives, and FMEA / RCM approaches.
