Company Name Reliance Industries Limited

Dates Employed Jul 2015 Present

Employment Duration 1 yr 10 mos

Location Bharuch Area, India

Identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business
operations.
Loss Elimination
Fundamental role is to track the production losses and abnormally high maintenance cost assets,
then find ways to reduce those losses or high costs through root cause analysis.
Risk Management
To manage risk to the achievement of an organizations strategic objectives in the areas of
environmental health and safety, asset capability, quality and production.
Life Cycle Asset Management
95 percent of the total cost of ownership (TCO) or life cycle cost (LCC) of an asset is determined
before it is put into use which needs reliability engineer to be involved in the design and
installation stages of projects for new assets and modification of existing assets.
