For the past 25 years, I have been directly involved in vehicle maintenance, and repairs. My military career afforded my the opportunity manage large fleets of diverse equipment, I was also in charge of countless personnel from all different types of backgrounds. I have been responsible for managing fleets during peace time as well as deploying my organizations equipment in austere environments and setting up remote maintenance operating areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan. I am a diverse leader who continually strives for excellence and constantly looking for ways to improve operations, systems and resolve personnel issues.
During my time working at Oceana Gold, I was able to consistently keep my fleet availability over the target of 88% with a meantime between failure of 120 hours with a tartget of 80 hours. What this means is that when my equipment left from scheduled maintenance, it was able to go for more than 250 hours of a 500 hour period without failure. This is due to my continuous focus and emphasis on preventative maintenance and addressing issues during scheduled service rather than reactive repairs.
