The key purpose of this role is to facilitate continuous improvement in plant reliability through TPM development and maintenance/ MEO/Project planning.

Key Roles and Responsibilities:

Maintenance Scheduling

• Using the maintenance planning system, generate the routine maintenance schedules
• This should include required cleaning, lubrication and inspection tasks and supporting ATO processes
• Allocate & plan resources including spare parts ordering to the schedules and generate works orders where these are indicated
• Communicate the schedules to the production, engineering and other support teams and resolve work and resource allocation problems
• Verify that routine maintenance schedules are being completed and that shift teams are completing autonomous maintenance tasks assigned to them
• Complete all administration and maintenance systems tasks required supporting the management of routine maintenance schedules
• Provide feedback on the efficiency of routine maintenance tasks to the shift and engineering teams, and highlight non-compliance and problems that need to be addressed
• Provide feedback on the efficiency of routine maintenance tasks to the shift and engineering teams, and highlight non-compliance and problems that need to be addressed
• Enforce the 10-day maintenance planning cycle where applicable as per MBP

Maintenance Systems Management

• Where necessary, take part in the commissioning of new maintenance systems, or changes to the current maintenance system using the PM review process
• Manage the maintenance systems, ensuring operational and data integrity and correct use of the system
• Plan required maintenance work using the maintenance system, generating the required schedules and associated works orders

Packaging Maintenance Planner

• Generate required maintenance reports, including SAP reports and communicate to key stakeholders routinely
• Capture required data on the maintenance systems
• Data must be verified for accuracy and completeness on the CMMS
• Conduct analysis (System analysis and L&W) on maintenance data to identify failure modes and root causes of maintenance problems, and to identify problems timeously
• Where analysis of maintenance data indicates a need to carry out work, this information must be communicated to the engineering team and included in the planned maintenance schedules

Maintenance Planning

• Facilitate and lead the planned maintenance pre-meeting effectively
• Work required, problems to be addressed and resource requirements must be discussed and planned
• Plan all required work on the planned maintenance schedule
• Ad hoc tasks should be included and prioritized and relevant works requests generated
• Determine resource requirements to complete work and assign tasks to specific resources
• Interaction with Maintenance controller to obtain resources may be required
• Create spares reservations and facilitate ordering of the necessary spare parts
• Review safety requirements of tasks that are planned and ensure the necessary safety requirements are met
• Partake in planned maintenance period in support of maintenance team and assist with problem solving, work prioritization and resource re-allocation
• Reschedule incomplete work to the next planned maintenance period and capture all required information from planned maintenance period on the maintenance systems
• Facilitate and lead the maintenance the dynamic tracking meetings on maintenance days ensure Problems encountered are resolved and drive start up times with the Team leader and Controller
• Facilitate and lead the maintenance postmortems. Problems encountered, opportunities identified and lessons learned should be discussed and update required reports
• Develop and optimize LTP, MTP, and STP to improve plant reliability and performance

Problem Solving

• Where problems have occurred during routine and planned maintenance activities, apply the correct problem-solving approach to resolve
• Where required, call in additional resources to assist in problem solving or escalate to engineer for direction
• Assist fellow team members to resolve problems on request
• Take part, as functional expert, in FFA’s on request

Key Attributes and Competencies:

• Proven experience in applying technical knowledge and principles Solid understanding of Packaging principles and processes
• Good all-round knowledge of manufacturing and maintenance processes
• Demonstrated knowledge of SHE policies and procedures
