As a member of the Reliability Center of Excellence team, you will support the Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM) Program.

This includes collaborating with the manufacturing facilities to support the, design and development of their RCM program to determine effective asset maintenance strategies based on identified failure modes, effects, consequences, and the risk they pose both internally and externally.

RCM program management may include :

• Facilitate RCM Analysis workshops on the top 5% of facility assets by critically raking.
• Utilize statistical tools such as Weibull Analysis to determine failure rate curves
• Collaborate with Plant's Maintenance Planners to develop failure mode driven maintenance procedures based upon RCM Analysis results.
• Coordinate with plant's asset owners and maintenance management to secure understanding, approval, and endorsement of maintenance strategies.
• Support the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Program. Coaching the plants to define, design, develop, facilitate, monitor, and refine the program.
