3. Own the KPIs That Matter

• Track and trend key reliability, maintenance health, cost, and compliance indicators to support decision making and prioritisation.

4. Optimise Preventive Maintenance & Documentation

• Optimise Preventive Maintenance plans in collaboration with technicians and engineering, moving from time based to condition  and risk informed strategies where appropriate.

• Maintain and improve Plant Manuals, PM task quality, and execution standards for Bella Vista assets.

5. Support Asset Lifecycle & Obsolescence Planning

• Identify aging assets, reliability risks, and obsolescence at site level.

• Build clear, data driven business cases for refurbishment, replacement, or retirement within the 6 month contract horizon and beyond.

6. Improve CMMS & Data Integrity

• Improve CMMS data integrity for assets (asset hierarchy, frequencies, failure codes, spares linkage) to enable accurate reliability analysis and KPI reporting.

• Partner with Planning & Scheduling and Stores to improve work quality, schedule compliance, and spares effectiveness.
