• Developed, implemented, and expanded a comprehensive equipment monitoring strategy, incorporating vibration, thermography, tribology, ultrasound, power quality analysis, and other variable analysis techniques, resulting in a 20% YOY reduction in rotating equipment failures.• Conducted thorough reviews and hands-on inspections of existing manufacturing equipment, ensuring alignment with OEM recommended maintenance strategies and identifying areas for improvement. • Developed a PM strategy that shifted routine mechanical inspections to Operation Groups which allowed for increased focus on reactionary work during the limited allotted maintenance windows, supporting the facility’s overall goal of increased throughput.• Led a cross-functional team in a reliability study of a critical processing line, utilizing statistical analysis techniques to target equipment “bad actors”. Resulting in a 15% reduction in downtime within six months. • Managed, planned, and scheduled 3 Reliability Technicians. Provided Reliability and Maintenance Technicians with technical training in predictive technologies as well as tribology and other reliability related topics.
