Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

Materials & Products

• Troubleshoots and diagnoses a vast array of sometimes complex and aged mechanical tools and equipment and determines the most appropriate method and parts required to effectively complete the given job.
• Utilizes knowledge of the particular intricacies of various types of metals, chemicals, equipment and/or machinery properties and parts for preventative maintenance and repair duties.
• May assemble, install and/or repair wiring, low voltage electrical and electronic components, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, pipe systems (i.e., pneumatic, hydraulic) unique machinery, and equipment.

Equipment

• Removes and replaces defective parts for complex problems using hand /power tools, drills, welding equipment, wrenches, hoists, cranes test equipment, and/or varying gages.
• Utilizes a broad skill level of a mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and electronic in nature tools to repair and maintain most shop equipment.
• Must be able to set-up and fabricate machine components on lathe, drill press, grinder and other metalworking tools to make and repair parts.
• Inspects used parts to determine changes in dimensional requirements using rulers, calipers, and micrometers. Fabricates, assembles, and tests parts using a complete range of mechanical hand and power tools including precision measuring devices, instruments, and gauges, metal fabricating tools and welding torches.
• Responsible for the preventative maintenance, installation, and/or repair of equipment through varying trade disciplines, using computer systems, as well as cross-functional responsibility as a Maintenance Machinist.
• Collaborates with other departments during capital purchasing decisions by offering researched opinions in cost effective approaches to machinery/equipment selection and functionality.

Procedures

• Perform preventative maintenance and calibration of equipment and systems throughout the facility.
• Analyzes, identifies, and corrects mechanical faults of improperly operating or inoperative machinery through varying trade and/or mechanical processes. Diagnoses mechanical problems by instrumentation, sound and visual observation and determines how best to resolve the problem by checking blueprints, repair manuals, parts catalogs drawing and from experience and expertise.
• Inspects work of Maintenance Mechanics I & II to assure proper installation, maintenance, and repair of equipment.
• Tests and runs-off machines to ensure proper operation and correction of the identified problem.
