  MTTR, MTBF, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

  , and other critical KPIs.
• Collaborate with

  process, mechanical, and quality teams

  to review equipment utilization, quality, and production efficiency.
• Conduct

  downtime analysis

  to identify root causes and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Manage

  internal and external projects

  , ensuring timely execution, resource allocation, and compliance with quality and safety standards.
• Coordinate with

  OEMs, third-party contractors, and calibration agencies

  for technology upgrades, automation improvements, and system calibrations.
• Finalize and standardize

  SOPs and work procedures

  , ensuring consistent adherence across all plant sections.
• Plan and finalize the

  annual/quarterly departmental budget

  covering spares, consumables, AMCs, third-party jobs, and manpower costs.
