• Partners with Operations and Production leadership. Aligns maintenance priorities with schedules, outages, and changeovers. Pushes back when production decisions increase risk, downtime, or safety exposure.

• Owns parts and inventory strategy. Ensures critical spares are identified, stocked, and audited. Eliminates obsolete inventory while preventing downtime caused by poor planning or shortages.
