§ Lead reliability improvement teams and collaborate with other departments (e.g., Operations, Maintenance, Engineering) to address equipment issues and improve overall plant reliability.
§ Use reliability engineering tools like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to analyze maintenance and integrity data trends
§ Promote a culture of reliability and continuous improvement through proactive leadership, problem-solving, and cross-departmental collaboration.
§ Develop, implement, and maintain comprehensive maintenance strategies and mechanical integrity (MI) plans for plant equipment, including pressure vessels, piping, and rotating equipment.
§ Continuously improve maintenance programs (PMs), Bill of Materials (BOMs), and spare parts inventories to ensure regulatory compliance.
§ Collaborate with engineering teams on equipment classification, SAP location hierarchy, asset information population, and acquisition of equipment manuals
§ Utilize advanced data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning algorithms to analyze equipment performance data and predict potential failures.
§ Develop predictive maintenance models to forecast equipment failures and implement proactive maintenance actions, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
§ Identify and implement opportunities for reliability and mechanical integrity improvement to enhance equipment uptime and performance.
§ Develop Power BI dashboards to visualize reliability data and performance metrics, enabling better decision-making and communication of reliability improvements to stakeholders.
Mechanical Integrity and Inspection Programs:
§ Oversee mechanical integrity programs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels, piping systems, and rotating equipment.
§ Implement and manage risk-based inspection (RBI) programs to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements (API, ASME, OSHA).
§ Recommend and implement improvements to ensure the effectiveness of maintenance and mechanical integrity programs.
§ Ensure that all equipment meets mechanical integrity standards through regular inspections and the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
Management of CMMS Data Integrity & Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM):
§ Ensure CMMS data integrity to support preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance processes, including mechanical integrity requirements.
§ Oversee maintenance planning processes and the evaluation of new predictive technologies.
§ Lead the application of predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to minimize downtime and ensure the structural integrity of critical assets.
Predictive Maintenance Technologies:
§ Lead the application of predictive maintenance technologies to monitor and improve equipment reliability.
§ Oversee the use of the following technologies for condition monitoring:
6.
Liquid Penetrating Testing
7.
Dynamic/Static Motor Current Testing
§ Use these tools to detect early signs of equipment degradation and take proactive maintenance actions to prevent unplanned downtime
§ Implement and manage condition-based monitoring programs using IoT and sensor-based technologies to monitor the health and mechanical integrity of critical assets.
§ Utilize real-time sensor data to detect early signs of equipment degradation and initiate proactive actions.
§ Lead the application of predictive maintenance technologies to monitor and improve equipment reliability and take proactive maintenance actions to prevent unplanned downtime.
KPI Monitoring and Reporting:
§ Measure and report reliability and mechanical integrity performance metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), equipment downtime, and maintenance costs.
§ Develop performance reports and Power BI dashboards to showcase improvements in maintenance and mechanical integrity practices.
§ Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for internal and regulatory audits concerning equipment reliability, mechanical integrity, and maintenance.
§ Ensure compliance with mechanical integrity standards such as API 510, 570, 653, ASME, and OSHA.
Continuous Improvement and Technical Expertise:
§ Continuously enhance knowledge in biopharmaceutical industry best practices, mechanical integrity, and problem-solving techniques.
§ Promote CSL values: Customer Focus, Innovation, Integrity, Collaboration, and Superior Performance.
Health and Safety Compliance:
§ Ensure adherence to CSL Behring’s Safety Program, complying with OSHA and health and safety mandates, particularly in areas related to mechanical integrity.
