ONLY APPLICANTS WITH CURRENT OR RECENT FOOD/BVG MFG EXPERIENCE WILL BE CONSIDERED
OVERVIEW:
Reliability Engineers are technical leaders in increasing asset availability through the utilization of reliability tools, methods, and practices. Strong emphasis on implementing Continuous Improvement into the culture of the plant.
Provide technical support for the evolution from reactive to proactive maintenance, which will lead to productivity improvement and a reduced maintenance cost/case.
Identify, implement, and communicate productivity improvements corporate wide.
Act as a technical consultant for new capital expenditures to ensure maintainability and reliability has been optimized to achieve the lowest life cycle cost (LCC) and highest equipment availability possible.
OWNERSHIP ACCOUNTABILITIES:
Condition Based Monitoring
1) Identify and implement technologies and keep technologies current
a) Vibration analysis, oil analysis, ultrasonic inspections, and infrared (using contractors where needed)
2) Implement/monitor condition based monitoring program
a) Bring technologies in house where available
3) Support the program by analyzing data and implementing preventative action
4) Educate technical community on the use of these tools
5) Gather reports, analyze, and use information from data collection systems (CIM21, MQIS, DT Analyst)
6) Utilize non-traditional PdM tools (metal detectors, sensors, etc.)
Failure Analysis & Prevention Program
1) Leader in problem solving methodologies such as FMEA, Why/Why Analysis, Cause Mapping, and RCA.
2) Component failure analysis program: Evaluate equipment failures.
3) Implement and monitor preventative action
4) Develop and implement lubrication program
5) Failure Prevention: Participate in problem solving activities and recommend changes to the care of
the equipment.
Reliability Measures
1) Understand maintenance metrics and productivity goals and use reliability metrics to track progress
2) Promote and track reliability growth. Become familiar with the plant metrics and communicate
them (including reliability, system performance, productivity, and others.)
Early Management
1) Become a key resource for ensuring maintainability and reliability on all incoming equipment by
driving life cycle cost (LCC), Vendor requirements, and driving the use of standard components
2) Evaluate and review recommended maintenance procedures
3) Update and communicate component and machine installation standards
SUPPORT ACCOUNTABILITIES
Plant/Operations Continuous Improvement
1) Support day to day equipment problems, identify and implement solutions
2) Promote and participate in preventive maintenance development.
3) Technical leader on Continuous Improvement teams
