Reliability and maintenance planning head delivering higher equipment availability through data-driven SAP PM.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I lead reliability and maintenance planning to eliminate chronic equipment failures and improve uptime. I’ve driven initiatives using FMEA and RCA, improving equipment availability to >95% and reducing unplanned downtime by up to 25%.
I manage SAP PM(MMA) and SAP MRP processes to strengthen work order execution, preventive maintenance scheduling, and spare parts inventory control. I’ve reduced stock by 10–15% while maintaining availability and achieved 15–20% reductions in M&R costs through optimized planning and spare parts control.
I’m hands-on with shutdown and project planning, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and contractors to deliver safety, quality, and schedule outcomes. From weekly scheduling and critical path tracking in MS Project/CPM to shutdown planning for 200+ activities with over 97% schedule adherence on projects exceeding EGP 50 million, I focus on KPI reporting, risk mitigation, and execution visibility.
