Production Equipment Ownership and responsibility:

• Maximum machine availability (production equipment) and minimum downtime for production (for designated area).
  
• Organize preventative maintenance and repair of production equipment and optimize maintenance schedules.
  
• Optimization of maintenance procedures and maintenance strategy.
  
• Creating maintenance instructions, out of control procedures and BKM's.
  
• Training, certification and further education/ development of technician skills.
  
• To use SAP, SPC and other relevant software to detect trends and maintain machine stability.
  
• Vulnerability analysis and detailed troubleshooting.
  
• Ensure reliable equipment performance (Tool-Matching).
  
• Instructing / teaching and managing of vendor/contractor service personnel.
  
• Making optimal use of its own and third party maintenance service.
  
• Ensure gapless documentation of work and changes done at the production equipment (in terms of parameter, hardware and software changes).
  
• Planning and implementation of upgrades, alterations or retrofits to the machines.
  
• Work together with manufacturing and shift maintenance members as well as process and equipment engineering to prioritize the tools “down” state.
  
• Backup of the installation software, log files and important system parameters.
  
• Compliance with prescribed calibration schedules (measuring components).

Optimal spare parts supply

• Contact for spare parts dispatchers (Logistics dept.).
  
• Definition of material requirements, material master data, material availability.
  
• Setting of minimum stocks.
  
• Identify and use potential "alternative source" parts and/or suppliers.
  
• Planning and controlling of costs and spare parts consumption.
  
• Minimal cost with best quality (matching equipments, reduced scrap, etc.).
  
• Trigger and tracking of "Down" - deliveries (down orders

Comply with environmental and working safety

• Ensure safe and environmentally working conditions and procedures.
  
• Implementation of all safety relevant topics regarding designated area into work instructions.
  
• Provide regular teaching and training on hazards in work area.
  
• Ensure exhaust scrubber and pump maintenance if applicable

Continuous improvement of the equipment and staff

• CIP programs together with HQ and equipment engineering (benchmarking).
  
• Benchmark / knowledge exchange with other offices, departments, manufacturers.
  
• Close communication with shift maintenance members (information sharing).
  
• Validate improvement ideas and drive.

Collaboration with:

• Process dept. - Maintenance and security of production recipes.
