Reliability Engineer Job Description
Similar to the generic job description for a maintenance engineer, here is a template for a reliability engineer (or manager) paraphrased from Making Common Sense Common Practice: Models for Manufacturing Excellence
- Loss Accounting [Use existing databases to perform Pareto analysis and follow up to improve results. Since everything can't be done at once, this item is the foundation for prioritizing all others.]
- Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) [Perform and/or facilitate RCFA and prospective solutions based on RCFA.]
- Managing the Results of Condition Monitoring Functions [Ensure quality data is being collected and that condition-monitoring technology is applied and used in an integrated way.]
- Overhaul/Shutdown Support [Review equipment condition to ensure the right work, and only the right work, is performed. Commission equipment during startup using applicable technologies.]
- Proactive Support [Working with all other departments to ensure good practices in design, purchasing, maintenance, stores, and operation.]
- Facilitator/Communicator [Deal with gray areas where responsibilities are shared by two or more groups. Find and implement solutions while avoiding finger-pointing.]
