Reliability Engineer & Maintenance Planning Jobs

📈 Reliability engineers make great maintenance planners. 📈

Reliability Engineers moving into Maintenance Planner jobs is a common occurrence. In viewing the video introducing the role of a maintenance planner, we can see why. The video expands on the maintenance planner job description.

It is not uncommon for reliability engineers to transition into maintenance planner roles. This shift often occurs due to the overlapping skill sets and expertise required for both positions.

Maintenance planners coordinate and schedule maintenance activities, ensuring that equipment and machinery are properly maintained to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. They work closely with maintenance teams, production departments, and other stakeholders to develop comprehensive maintenance plans.

On the other hand, reliability engineers focus on analyzing data, identifying potential issues, and implementing strategies to improve equipment reliability. Their work involves conducting failure analysis, developing preventive maintenance programs, and optimizing asset performance.


Given their responsibilities and knowledge base similarities, reliability engineers often find it a natural progression to move into maintenance planner roles. They already deeply understand equipment performance metrics, failure modes, and maintenance strategies. Additionally, their analytical skills enable them to prioritize tasks and allocate resources efficiently and effectively.

In a maintenance planner job description, employers may seek professionals with experience as reliability engineers or similar technical backgrounds. This preference is primarily driven by the belief that individuals with this background can bring valuable insights into optimizing preventive maintenance schedules and enhancing overall equipment reliability.

The transition from a reliability engineer to a maintenance planner can be seen as a logical career progression that leverages existing skills while expanding into broader operational planning responsibilities within an organization’s maintenance department.

Reliability Analysis Example of Drinking Glasses

The video below will give you a reliability analysis example applied to drinking glasses. It was created from a section of the Reliability Engineering Training Course PowerPoint Download. This small sample starts out by answering What is the Reliability? Then immediately dives into the sample topic at hand …

What is the Reliability of this Glass?

Applying reliability analysis statistics.
Reliability Analysis Example

Summary: In the above video you learned the following …

Reliability Analysis Example Key Points:

  • A reliability analysis does not predict the future, it only predicts the chance of a possible future.
  • How the drinking glass is used has the most effect on reliability.
  • Obtaining reliability analysis statistics like the number and time of failures is one of the first steps in reliability analysis.
  • We need to convert the rate of failure to the chance of failure.
  • Random failures are preventable.

How Maintenance Planning & Scheduling Help to Reduce Unit Cost of Production

This slide shows a graph of how the ‘hidden factory’ can be spotted.  It indicates the seven causes of waste that produce the ‘hidden factory’.  All the lost production and the below-full-capacity production represent the ‘hidden factory’.  The message for Maintenance Planners is that the work they do preparing for maintenance aids in recovering and preventing lost production by giving the maintainers the best opportunity to do high-quality work that improves plant reliability and extends the run-time between failures.


Maximizing Life Cycle Profits

Maximizing Life Cycle Profits

Maximizing Life Cycle Profits with Maintenance Planning

It is important to realize that operating costs can only be changed and removed during the design and project phase of the life-cycle.  Once plant and equipment are in place, all its associated requirements must be met.  Those necessary costs cannot be lowered without increasing the risk of failure by reducing the item’s reliability, with subsequent poor effects on production output.

The Maintenance Planner can do nothing to change what happened during the project phase, it is all history by the time they work in the business.  But they can change the project decisions to be made in the future if they capture good, sound records of the performance and costs of the production equipment used in their operation.  With believable evidence of equipment performance provided by the Maintenance Planner, future project designers will make better decisions in designing and selecting a future operating plant.

Sizing VFD for Motor

Excerpts from the AB VFD Course

How do you size a VFD drive for an application and feel confident it’s going to work?

You must understand the requirements of the load. You should also understand the difference between horsepower and torque. Both torque and horsepower must be carefully examined.

Key VFD specifications:

While there are many specifications associated with the variable frequency drive, the following are the most important. Continued in the full article at  https://bin95.com/articles/electrical/allen-bradley-vfd-training.htm

VFD Applications to watch out for…

If you answer any of the following questions with YES, be extra careful in your VFD selection and setup parameters of the VFD.

Will the VFD drive operate more than one motor?

The total peak currents of all motor loads under the worst operating conditions must be calculated. The VFD must be sized based on this maximum current requirement. Additionally, individual motor protection must be provided here for each motor.

Is the VFD motor load considered hard to start?

These are the motors that dim the lights in the building when you hit the start button. Remember, the VFD is limited in the amount of overcurrent it can produce for a given period of time. These applications may require oversizing of the VFD for higher current demands.

Are there power factor correction capacitors being switched or existing on the intended motor loads?

Switching of power factor capacitors usually generates power disturbances in the distribution system. Many VFDs can and will be affected by this. Isolation transformers or line reactors may be required for these applications.  Power factor correction at VFD-powered motor loads is …
