Engineering Assistant

1. Daily Machine Setup & Calibration

• Pre-Operational Checks: Perform comprehensive start-up inspections and safety checks on assigned machinery prior to production runs.
• Parameter Configuration: Set up, calibrate, and program machine settings according to specific production formulas, blueprints, or work orders.

2. Preventive Maintenance (PM)

• Scheduled Servicing: Execute routine preventive maintenance tasks (e.g., lubrication, cleaning, part replacements, and belt adjustments) according to the PM schedule.
• Wear & Tear Monitoring: Continuously monitor machine wear-and-tear indicators (temperature, pressure, vibration, unusual noises) to predict and prevent potential failures.
• Autonomous Maintenance: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace around the assigned machinery in line with 5S standards.

3. Troubleshooting & Corrective Action

• Rapid Diagnostics: Identify, diagnose, and resolve mechanical, electrical, or software malfunctions on the assigned machine during live production.
• Minor Repairs: Perform immediate corrective adjustments or minor repairs to restore normal machine operations quickly and minimize downtime.
• Escalation & Reporting: Log detailed descriptions of complex equipment failures in the maintenance management system and escalate major issues to the Engineering/Maintenance team.

4. Documentation & Compliance

• Logs & Checklists: Maintain accurate daily logs of machine performance, setup parameters, downtime causes, and maintenance activities performed.
• Safety Adherence: Strictly follow Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures, safety protocols, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) during all setup and maintenance activities.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Machine Downtime: Minimize unplanned downtime on the assigned equipment.
• First-Time-Right Setup: Rate of successful machine setups that pass initial quality inspections without requiring readjustments.
• PM Compliance: Percentage of scheduled preventive maintenance tasks completed on time.
