Reliability Assurance Unit Manger

Purpose:
The purpose of this position is to centralize the functionalities of asset management planning, scheduling, and reliability engineering under a common direction and strategy from a campus perspective at a specific plant(s). The accountability of this position would enable a campus wide approach to these asset management disciplines, allowing for the visibility of priorities and asset criticality from the campus perspective versus only a narrower perspective. This visibility allows for the prioritization of asset management responsibilities throughout the campus for the effective distribution of asset availability and resources to maintain the desired reliability.

• Leadership - This individual would be responsible for the leadership, management, and coordination of individual departmental teams, to effectively execute planning and scheduling of asset management.
• Visibility of risk - This individual would be responsible to ensure that visibility is maintained showing work identification, planning of routine/outage work, scheduling of routine/outage work, provide support during work execution, and lead the lessons learned from routine/outage work.
• Outage planning - This individual would ensure that effective plans are put in place for major planned outages, of which, are harmonized across the facilities to 1. minimize the disruptions of supply chains, 2. minimize outage spend, and 3. maximize reliability. Like major planned outages, periodic outages would also be effectively planned and scheduled from a zero-base spend perspective, under the leadership of this individual.
• Collaboration - During outages, this individual and their team serves as a support group to the execution team for the outage, assisting the problem solving, work-pull up, work additions, and work deferment.
• Post outage review - In post outages, this individual and their team leads post outage reviews to align on lessons learned from the entire planning, scheduling, and execution of the outage.

This individual serves as a guide to shift resources, escalate risk, and remove barriers that are interfering with the effectiveness of asset management. Allocation of resources — This individual translates the mission into asset management practices to lead their teams to continue the alignment of other components of the Asset Management Plan, a component of an ISO 55000 certification if we choose to pursue.
• Asset management foundations — This individual ensures that the asset criticality, asset hierarchy, root cause failure analysis, PM optimization, Inventory practices, etc. are maintained and executed within a specific plant. These individual functionalities work together to improve life cycle cost, improve maintainability, reduce inventory, and improve reliability of the assets while performing at a predictable performance and at an accept risk.

• Demonstrated ability to manage technical priorities and resources.
• Broad knowledge and experience of manufacturing in a heavy industry.
• Broad knowledge and experience in outage planning, scheduling, and execution
• Knowledge of business financials, capital, budgeting.
• Strong discipline in the fundamentals of reliability centered maintenance disciplines.
• Effective and emerging leadership skills.
• Forward thinking in planning; thinking at least two downturns or outages in sequence into the future.
• Ability to effectively communicate with a variety of individuals (Management and Technical) within and outside the business.
• Ability to articulate and visually translate data into clear and precise messages to take invigorate action.
