Maintenance Planning & Scheduling
Develop, update, and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance programmes across production, packing, and utilities to ensure
maximum equipment reliability.
Build and execute detailed weekly and daily maintenance plans, including Maintenance Day Plans with defined scope, resources,
durations, and lockout requirements.
Lead pre-maintenance planning meetings to align Engineering, Production, and Contractors on scope, priorities, and execution strategy.
Plan and coordinate major shutdowns, breakdown repairs, and seasonal maintenance activities, integrating maintenance with
production schedules and cleaning cycles.
Prioritize and release work orders in SAP PM, ensuring effective response to corrective and ad hoc maintenance based on risk, safety,
food safety, and operational impact.
Materials, Spares & Services Coordination
Determine and manage spares requirements through criticality assessments, ensuring availability of critical parts, tools, and equipment.
Coordinate external service providers and statutory inspections (e.g., boilers, lifting equipment) to ensure compliance and operational
readiness.
Accurately estimate maintenance work scope, including labour, duration, skills, spares, tools, and specialist services.
Plan and deploy contract labour to supplement internal resources during peak workloads and shutdown periods.
Execution Readiness & Governance
Ensure execution readiness by defining clear job scopes, safety procedures, permit requirements, LOTO compliance, and food safety
controls for all work orders.
Govern work order quality in SAP CMMS by validating job card inputs, including time confirmations, materials usage, and technical
completion notes.
Chair post-maintenance reviews to assess execution quality, identify gaps, and track deferred or incomplete work.
