Anyone have job description for PM, Planner and Reliability Eng.
I would like to know what is different in job function.

Thanks.

What you mean PM? Plant maintenance or Preventive maintenance?

remember: JD are different in the organization.

The rel eng will develop the PM and schedule; the planner will carry it out; i.e. - a lube schedule; R E will ensure proper lube, quantity and frequency - the Planner will implement the PM schedule and auto-generation on the computer and issue PM's to area maint as the job comes due.

This whole process is a team effort. Anyone trying to grab glory will not get the cooperation necessary to make all run smoothly.

The planner has a huge responsibility keeping up with everything and doesn't need to be a man that is only reactive to operations whims and poor planning.

You are interested in three (3) positions' Job Descriptions, right? As Aromatics asked, please define more the first one.
PM = Preventive Maintenance (this is not a position, this is a program or order type)
PM = Plant Maintenance ? (this looks like the name of the whole department or function.)
*** Do you mean:
****** PM Manager ?
****** PM Engineer ?
****** PM Supervisor ?
Or you are interested in two positions' Job Descriptions:
PM Planner vs Reliability Engineer?

PM = Plant Manager?

PM = Plant Manager? = Big Boss

In our maintenance department defines PM as Preventive maintenance or maintenance engineers his jobs are as follow:
1. suppervising technical leader to perform maintenance tasks, 60%Reactive(replace/repair) 40%Preventive (inspection/replace/repair)
2. preparing spare part for aviability.

Planner's job is just to plan and Putting reactive and preventive action to the computer system.
Create master plan for PM task, troble shooting report when the plnt stop by machines.
From troble shooting report we may got New Prevention Plan.

Do we loss any function need for maintenance ?

Eugene/Steven

PM may stand for Project Manager

Yes I am interested in two position's Job Descriptions PM Planner vs Reliability Engineer.

I think should asign someonce for Reliability

Phoo, you can search this forum for both of them. Have been discussed before.

Yes, you are on the right track in knowing that PM Planner is different from Reliability Engineer.

The way I see it, a reliability engineer sets up the assurance program for reliability. This involves understanding the failure characteristics of the plant and the consequence of each failure. The reliability engineer should be responsible for developing the strategy for managing plant failure and does this in consultation with the subject matter experts. Once this strategy becomes a specification, the reliability engineer is responsible for tracking the success or failure of this specification. This role is much like an accountant's role where data and information is collected and variances investigated and resolved. The same approach needs to be taken for new equipment as well as equipment that is being phased out.
Primarily though, reliability is a culture not a technical matter so a big part of the reliabilty engineer's role is to do with the people side. If the reliability engineer can't communicate effectively he/she will fail.
This is not a duty statement but a short comment on the role.
To make this all happen requires a high level of knowledge of reliability principles and techniques as well as advanced people skills.
Above all, the reliability engineer needs to be able to be humble and pass credit to the people who provide the knowledge that make reliability happen. Eating humble pie must be a dietry delight.

Definitely not something for someone fresh out of school, preferable someone growing from the ranks and taking further education while working.

OK, PM = Maintenance Engineer.
* In my plant the Maintenance Engineers are the supervisors of the maintenance crews who have an engineering degree, we have one Maintenance Supervisor who do not have an engineering degree (however, can teach many things about maintenance to the others engineers).
* Our Maintenance Engineers:
*** besides personnel supervision (training, development, coaching, discipline, performance evaluation) tasks,
*** are responsible for all maintenance jobs comming from the the plant areas assigned to them;
*** develop PM tasks list (instructions, frequency) for the equipment under his assigned area; (we do not have a Reliability Engineer position, so the duties this position would do are splitted between the Maintenance Engineers and the Maintenance Planning supervisor). For this task they rely on the experienced technicians and get other input from operatots, Safety, mfg manuals, etc.)
*** develop spare parts lits
*** assists Maintenance Manager with budgeting

Most definately Svanels... this is not a lightweight position unless the company wants to waste their money or go backwards. People fresh from school can be part of the Reliability Group and can be effective in doing a lot of the ground work - but regardless of their academic prowess, it is fundamentally about people and respect needs to be earned first.
