• Review EPRI reports sent to the Reliability team at DTE and Siemens monthly bulletin which go over maintenance recommendations and potential failures related to turbine blades, rotor, generator in detail.o Prepare 10-year Outage plan for powerplants based on recommendationso Predicting the impact of ROF ( Random outage factor) on the PSCR ( power supply cost recovery) charge using historical data• Develop a detailed budget plan with breakdown of expenditure per system (e.g. Turbine, Boiler) and per sub system level, using historical data. o This decreased the Plant Operation and maintenance expenditure by 19% for major power plants of DTE. The decreased expenditure forecast keeps track of improved performance of the powerplants and helps the company meet the set power generation expectations without any obstacles during operation.o Statistical analysis of the historical powerplant O&M costs from past 10 years was performed using Power BI, Microsoft excel, data visualization to improve confidence in the established budget plan.• Prepare tutorials on using Maximo for shop supervisors for easy tracking of work orders. This reduced current process delays in scheduling Preventive maintenance (PM) of the equipment on the shop floor by 2 months.o Build SQL queries to visualize metrics tracking job progress in Power BI which reduced human error by eliminating tedious data entry in excel.o Prevent future delays in PM scheduling by automating the same. Otherwise, thousands of orders must be manually checked to make sure PM is performed on time.• Help maintain the internal customers of DTE by automating tracking performance metrics associated with shops such as maintenance costs, revenue generated by shops, yearly expenditure, etc.,• Conduct weekly safety inspection of the facility per OSHA standards to prevent injuries due to unsafe work practiceso Lead corrective actions after identifying non-compliance in Li-ion battery disposal procedure in shops.
