Planner - Mechanical

Purpose/Objective

The Preventive Maintenance Mechanical Planner is responsible for developing and managing the preventive maintenance schedule to enhance equipment reliability and performance. This role includes coordinating preventive maintenance activities with production schedules, optimizing spare parts inventory, planning shutdowns, and integrating condition-based monitoring data. The planner also conducts root cause analysis, maintains maintenance records, drives continuous improvement, and ensures compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities of Role

Preventive Maintenance Planning: Develop and manage the preventive maintenance schedule, ensuring timely execution of all routine maintenance tasks to enhance equipment reliability and performance. Coordinate with various departments to align preventive maintenance activities with production schedules, minimizing disruption and ensuring optimal plant availability. Spare Parts & Inventory Optimization: Ensure the availability of necessary spare parts and materials for preventive maintenance tasks by managing inventory levels and coordinating with suppliers. Optimize spare parts inventory by analyzing historical data and forecasting future requirements, reducing excess inventory while preventing stockouts. Internal Control & Transparency: Implement and monitor internal control systems to ensure accuracy, reliability, and transparency in daily operations Regularly assess and identify potential risks within the organization, recommending and implementing control measures to enhance transparency Major & Minor Shutdown Planning: Plan and coordinate major and minor shutdowns, including scheduling, resource allocation, and execution, to ensure efficient and effective maintenance activities. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to prepare detailed shutdown plans, including manpower requirements, equipment and material needs, and risk assessments. Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) Integration: Incorporate condition-based monitoring (CBM) data into maintenance planning to proactively address equipment issues before they lead to failures. Analyze CBM reports, including oil analysis, vibration data, and thermography, to inform maintenance activities and optimize scheduling. Root Cause Analysis & Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA): Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) to identify and address the underlying causes of equipment failures. Use insights from RCA and FMEA to develop and implement corrective actions and preventive measures to improve equipment reliability and performance. Maintenance Records & Reporting: Maintain accurate and comprehensive records of preventive maintenance activities, including schedules, task completion, and equipment performance. Prepare and present detailed reports on maintenance activities, including metrics on equipment reliability, downtime, and inventory management. Continuous Improvement & Best Practices: Drive continuous improvement in preventive maintenance processes by analyzing performance data and identifying opportunities for process optimization. Implement best practices and innovative solutions to enhance the effectiveness of preventive maintenance activities and reduce operational costs. Stakeholder Coordination & Communication: Liaise with maintenance teams, production staff, and other stakeholders to ensure effective communication and coordination of maintenance activities. Address any issues or conflicts related to maintenance scheduling and execution, ensuring that all parties are informed and aligned. Compliance & Safety Adherence: Ensure that all preventive maintenance activities comply with company safety standards and regulatory requirements, contributing to a safe working environment. Monitor adherence to safety protocols and environmental regulations during maintenance activities, promoting a culture of safety and compliance.
