Reliability Engineering
Reliability Engineering
- Expertise in assessing and improving the reliability of systems. Utilising various techniques such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and reliability block diagrams to identify failure modes, determine failure rates, and develop strategies to enhance system reliability.
- Focus on ensuring systems are available when needed. Analyse system downtime, evaluate factors affecting availability, and implement measures to optimise system uptime. Employ techniques like fault tree analysis (FTA) and availability modelling to assess and improve system availability.
- Evaluate and enhance the ease and efficiency of maintaining systems. Considering factors such as maintenance procedures, spare parts availability, and repair time. Apply techniques such as maintenance task analysis and reliability centred maintenance (RCM), which aim to reduce downtime and maximise system maintainability.
- Identify potential hazards, conduct risk assessments, and develop safety strategies to mitigate risks. Ensure compliance with safety standards, regulations, and industry best practices to enhance system safety and minimise the likelihood of accidents or incidents.
- Assess complex systems, evaluate data, and identify trends or patterns. Use statistical analysis and modelling techniques to predict system behaviour, analyse failure data, and make data-driven decisions to improve reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety.
- Implement and manage the CMMS.
- Review existing preventative maintenance tasks against manufacturers recommendations and identify any gaps.
- Develop design and installation specifications along with commissioning plans. Develop criteria for and evaluation of equipment and technical MRO suppliers and technical maintenance service providers. Develop acceptance tests and inspection criteria.
- Carry out final check-out of new installations. This includes factory and site acceptance testing that will assure adherence to functional specifications.
- Create Equipment Criticality ranking, CMMS data, Equipment Use and Functional Specifications and other Operational and Maintenance information as input to creating an FMEA.
- Support the Planner by providing information regarding job scope, equipment re-qualification requirements, post-maintenance testing requirements, and entering job plans/work plans on work orders.
- Provide guidance and support to the on-site Condition Monitoring Engineers reviewing the existing strategy to increase site coverage.
