Mechanical Maintenance Management
Plan, organize, and control all mechanical maintenance activities, including preventive, predictive, corrective, and breakdown maintenance.
Ensure equipment reliability, availability, and operational efficiency to meet production requirements.
Develop and implement maintenance strategies to minimize unplanned downtime and recurring equipment failures.
Equipment Reliability and Continuous Improvement
Analyze equipment failures using Root Cause Analysis (RCA), 5 Why, and other problem-solving methodologies.
Implement corrective and preventive actions to eliminate recurring failures and improve equipment performance.
Lead reliability improvement projects and other continuous improvement methodologies.
Maintenance Planning and Execution
Develop and manage annual maintenance plans, preventive maintenance schedules, and major maintenance or shutdown activities.
Coordinate with Production and other departments to prioritize maintenance activities and minimize production disruption.
Monitor maintenance work orders, backlog, and schedule compliance to ensure effective execution.
People Management and Development
Lead, supervise, and develop mechanical engineers, supervisors, and maintenance technicians.
Establish departmental objectives, KPIs, individual performance targets, and competency development plans.
Build team capability through technical training, coaching, knowledge sharing, and succession planning.
Promote accountability, teamwork, discipline, and a continuous improvement culture.
Budget and Cost Control
Prepare and control the mechanical maintenance budget, including labor, spare parts, repair services, and improvement projects.
Identify and implement cost-saving initiatives without compromising safety, quality, or equipment reliability.
Analyze maintenance expenditures and optimize maintenance resources and repair-versus-replacement decisions.
Spare Parts and Inventory Management
Establish and maintain critical spare parts lists, minimum and maximum stock levels, and replenishment strategies.
Optimize spare parts availability, inventory turnover, and working capital while minimizing stockout risks.
Manage suppliers, contractors, and repair services to ensure quality, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery.
Safety, Quality, and Compliance
Ensure all mechanical maintenance activities comply with company safety standards, LOTOTO procedures, and applicable legal requirements.
Conduct risk assessments and ensure safe work practices for employees and contractors.
Ensure machinery is properly inspected, tested, and safely handed back to Production after maintenance.
KPI Monitoring and Performance Reporting
Establish, monitor, and analyze maintenance KPIs, including MTBF, MTTR, equipment availability, breakdown downtime, PM compliance, and maintenance cost.
Prepare periodic performance reports, identify gaps, and implement action plans to achieve departmental targets.
Report maintenance performance, significant risks, improvement progress, and resource requirements to the Maintenance Manager or Plant Management.
Technical Standards and Documentation
Establish and maintain mechanical maintenance standards, SOPs, inspection checklists, equipment history, and technical documentation.
Ensure effective use of document systems for maintenance planning, work order management, and equipment history tracking.
Standardize best practices across equipment and production lines.
Project and Cross-Functional Management
Lead or support equipment modification, installation, commissioning, and reliability improvement projects.
Coordinate with Production, Electrical, Utilities, Engineering, Procurement, and external contractors to achieve operational objectives.
Evaluate technical proposals, assess project risks, and ensure projects meet safety, quality, schedule, and budget requirements.
