Set up reliability programs

Act as technical liaison for plant operations, maintenance and vendors by providing assistance in identifying opportunities to improve equipment performance and reliability while providing total project management and acting as a liaison between the plant maintenance or engineering staff and outside vendors.Contribute to the development of projects to maintain infraestructure and improve reliability estrategiesInteract with customer maintenance staff and others materials users to identify and develop effective cost saving measures. Identify and document cost savings and facilitate presentation and approval by the customer.Assist with preventive maintenance programs, identify and optimize spare parts required to support those activitiesProvide assistance with basic opportunity identification; facilities and process modifications; repair and warranty determination of electrical and mechanical components; interfacing with OEM service repairmen; reverse engineering of parts and assemblies.Attend formal maintenance/engineering meetings and help provide ideas and resources to solve issues that are limiting production as well as informal interacting with maintenance, engineering, and process operators on a daily basis on the plant floor.Identify, manage and develop suppliers that will be used at the plant including develops outside suppliers for purchasing, repair and re-engineering of OEM spare parts in accordance with corporate and site quality policies directions and goals as defined.Identifies and develops effective documentation to measure and analyze inventory levels, list of materials, purchased parts, equipment and miscellaneous items required to support manufacturing process and production.Analyzes customer data, reviews engineering drawings/blue prints to estimate quantity and type of materials, parts and other items.Works directly with customers concerning technical issues and ensuring customer relations are maintained

Lead projects for cement and mining industry, test and troubleshoot machinery, write reports and assist the customer getting machinery back to full production.Lead maintenance crews to fix machinery during outages maintaining good safe practices and performancePresent projects requested for cement plants in order to do maintenance work during outages or routine maintenance. Lead the maintenance crew to assure quality and minimize length of the project

Troubleshot kilns and ball mills, Survey kilns and write reports

• Supporting the maintenance manager in ensuring that the plant is maintained in a manner that results in low down-time and high productivity• Ensuring through mechanical studies that all equipment is maintained at optimum levels and efficiencies.• Identifying potential maintenance improvements and recommending capital spending programs that improve the plant’s uptime and efficiency.• Responsible for analyzing all equipment maintenance programs, run times and making recommendations for improvement.• Improving maintenance of kilns and mills to reach highest possible production levels within quality requirements.• Working with SAP system to ensure accuracy of requisitions, purchase orders, work orders, and bill of materials on equipment.• Preparing bill of materials for equipment to improve planning and shutdown efficiency.• Developing and promoting a sound safety attitude among all supervised personnel and assuring that all are provided with the proper training to perform their task in a safe environment. Enforcing all safety policies and procedures.• Ensuring that the plant operates in full compliance with all regulatory bodies. Ensuring air emissions and water discharges are in compliance. Ensuring that all operations comply with applicable permits.

Design using Auto CAD improvements in the production line, purchase equipment andsupervise the contractors in order to implement the proposed improvements

Present projects requested for cement plants in order to do maintenance work duringoutages or routine maintenance. Lead the maintenance crew to assure quality and minimizelength of the project.

Managed reliability programs and served as troubleshooter for 14 plants ensuring allmachinery and equipment functioned efficiently with minimum downtime. * Conducted root cause analyses and diagnosed problems causing equipment failures.Prepared reports with recommendations for management.* Directed the development of plant Preventive/Predictive Maintenance programs; monitoredcompliance to programs. Resulted in the reduction of equipment failures.* Investigated a recurring kiln failure that had been unsolvable for 5 years and wasdisrupting production. Uncovered and solved the problem by performing a kiln alignmentwithin a 1/8 inch tolerance. Kiln failures were prevented; achieved $1200 labor and$30,000 production weekly cost savings and 100 Amp reduction in electric energy.* Monitored a kiln that was experiencing high amp failures; evaluated gear boxperformance using vibration and oil analyses and frequent visual inspections. Discoveredsevere tooth gear cracks, allowing replacement solution and preventing a catastrophic kilnfailure.

Reviewed cost estimates and initiated repair and capital projects. Provided technicalexpertise through active supervision of construction projects to assure timely completionand adherence to specifications. Review recommendations to spare parts inventory andmaintenance schedules for new equipment. Assure quality of construction materials andconformance to bid specification. Conducts engineering research and performs studies andprojects as directed by the Work Manager or Central Engineering* Saved money and improved production time by evaluating and improving existing equipmentand preventing maintenance costs.* Assist operating supervisors in troubleshooting equipment to determine causes ofmalfunctions.* Evaluate vendors based on cost, performance, efficiency, and safety.Milton Sanchez

Cement industry)Performed kiln mechanical survey that included roller bearings inspection, rollersthrust, bull gear, pinion inspection, tire/roller contact and slope measurements.Recruited for laser kiln survey expertise. Surveyed the kiln alignment-using laser. Thesurvey included ovality and run-out test.* Provided technical leadership for changing bull gear/pinions in kilns and mill* Trained mechanics in kiln and mills preventive maintenance * Used Auto CAD when writing reports of laser kiln survey.

Recruited to manage manufacturing process and warehouse.* Developed and designed hydraulic press which improved the manufacturing process, thesafety of operations, reduced man hours and freed heavy equipment to be used for otherpurposes.

Recruited to supervise the installation of new line of business, using hydraulic andpneumatic experience, i.e. roller track system. Trained mechanics.* Designed roller track systems using auto CAD and solid works.* Wrote the technical specifications for hydraulic and pneumatic components.

Recruited to supervise installation and troubleshoot machines, using language skills inworking with French engineers.* Followed up on machine construction to meet customer specifications.* Provided on site customer training.

Maintained machines according to a comprehensive scheduled package.* Troubleshot machinery related to the bottling industry.
