Evaluates and optimizes preventive maintenance (PM) tasks
Performs Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for equipment failures
Determines failure mode, cause and effects (5 Y analysis)
Develops engineering solutions to minimize repetitive failures for all mechanical, electrical, 
pneumatic and hydraulic systems that may adversely affect plant reliability and operations
Generates RCA reprts that recommend solutions to resolve failures and address future 
preventive, predictive practices
Develops a risk management plan that will anticipate reliability related risks that could 
adversely impact plant operations
Reviews Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to measure and analyze the plant reliability processes
Provides technical support to production and maintenance technicians
Prepares CAPEX documents to address reliability related expenditures
Prepares cost avoidance reports for PdM findings
Facilitates the Bad Actors process
Performs Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) data analysis
Facilitates team approach in determining solutions to Bad Actors
Generates a reports, outlining a plan of action and resolution for Bad Actors
