Define and track key reliability KPIs (MTBF, MTTR, OEE, failure rates)
Lead reliability improvement initiatives across assets and processes
Set out spare‑part strategy to ensure cost‑effectiveness throughout lifecycle
Failure Analysis & Problem Solving   Lead root cause investigations (RCA) for critical failures
Apply structured methodologies (5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis)
Translate findings into corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
Asset Lifecycle Management & Performance Optimization   Optimize preventive and predictive maintenance strategies
Leverage condition monitoring and data analytics to anticipate failures
Support CMMS/EAM system effectiveness and data integrity
Design & Asset Lifecycle Management   Provide reliability input during design, procurement, and commissioning
