- Act as the coordinator for the Cleaning, Inspection, Lubrication, and Tightening (CILT) pillar within the TPM framework.
- Develop and manage the Mechanical Preventive Maintenance (PM) calendar, ensuring timely execution of TPM, Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), and Periodic Overhaul plans.
- Perform data analysis on equipment breakdowns and conduct root cause analysis to identify and implement downtime reduction projects.
- Establish and maintain a Condition-Based Maintenance system, including vibration analysis, temperature logging, and load recording.
- Lead mechanical skill enhancement initiatives aligned with Training Needs Analysis (TNA), developing and cascading training modules to Process Operators and Mechanical Artisans.
- Manage and develop third-party mechanical maintenance teams and contractors responsible for maintenance and project execution in the process area.
- Drive continuous improvement efforts focused on reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
- Oversee spare parts availability and lead cost and inventory optimization initiatives.
- Manage the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) agenda by scheduling and closing all PM work orders, reconciling downtime, and monitoring technical utilization.
- Drive the Planned Equipment Maintenance Management (PEMM) agenda for the engineering function.
- Maintain and implement AIB (American Institute of Baking) standards in collaboration with the Food Safety Manager.
- Ensure strict adherence to all safety policies and support Maintenance Managers in daily operations, including providing coverage during their absence.
- Comply with and promote EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety), HR, Industrial Relations (IR), Employee Relations (ER), and Food Safety regulations and principles.
