   • Own root cause analysis for major downtime events
   • Drive permanent corrective actions (not temporary fixes)
   • Partner with Production Engineering and OT to eliminate recurring failures
   • Ensure reliability is designed into new equipment and layouts
3. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance
   • Implement predictive maintenance where economically justified
   • Standardize spare parts strategies and critical spares lists
   • Reduce reactive maintenance through data-driven insights

   • Lead CI initiatives tied to:
     • OEE improvement
     • Scrap and rework reduction
     • Setup stability
   • Apply Lean / Six Sigma tools where appropriate
   • Ensure CI efforts are measurable and sustained
5. Quality Systems Governance (Process-Focused)
   • Own enterprise quality systems, including:
     • Non-conformance reporting (NCR)
     • Root cause and corrective action (CAPA)
     • Process audits
   • Ensure quality standards are enforced without compromising uptime
   • Maintain enterprise-level quality visibility and trend analysis
6. Note: This role owns quality systems and process quality, not day-to-day inspection staffing.
7. Facility Launch & Expansion Support

     • Production Planning (capacity realism)
     • OT & Manufacturing Systems (machine data, diagnostics)
     • Plant Managers (execution and accountability)
   • Serve as escalation point for systemic reliability issues
9. Team Leadership & Development
   • Lead and develop enterprise maintenance and reliability resources
   • Coach Plant-level Maintenance Managers and Supervisors
   • Establish training standards and technical capability expectations
   • Build bench strength to support growth
