• Implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to eliminate repeat breakdowns.
• Contribute to lean manufacturing and CI initiatives to improve overall plant efficiency.

9. CAPEX Support – New Machinery

• Provide technical input on CAPEX proposals, machinery specifications, and vendor evaluations.
• Support installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing of new equipment.
• Ensure new machinery is fully integrated into the PPM programme from day one.

10. KPI Ownership

• Own and report on key maintenance metrics: MTBF, MTTR, Downtime %, and Maintenance Cost vs. Budget.
• Produce weekly and monthly maintenance performance reports for Operations and Senior Management.
• Use data-driven insights to prioritize maintenance investments and resource allocation.
