About Nitesh Kumar Shrivastava

At Vedanta Group, stewardship over the refinery and power plant\'s mechanical planning has been a crucible for my expertise in asset performance optimization. The role leverages my experience with Shell, where our team\'s commitment to reliability and continuous improvement significantly uplifted equipment integrity and operational efficiency.With a proficiency in contract management and constructability, the strategies deployed have fortified plant availability and resource optimization. By integrating predictive maintenance and data analysis into our processes, the organization has sustained a trajectory of operational excellence and reliability.In my current role as Associate General Manager at Vedanta Group, my approach to maintenance planning and execution revolves around a systematic and proactive strategy focusing on maximizing equipment reliability and availability. I lead a team of work planners and schedulers, ensuring collaboration with multiple stakeholders to align maintenance objectives with business goals. My responsibilities include finalizing project plans, discussing priorities with department heads, and ensuring efficient resource utilization. I implement inventory control measures and conduct risk analysis sessions to proactively address potential hurdles. A significant part of my planning involves analyzing historical data to inform future maintenance schedules. By leveraging condition monitoring techniques and Reliability Maintenance (RCM) principles, I can anticipate equipment failures and mitigate downtime. Moreover, I actively seek feedback from the team post-execution to refine our plans continuously. This iterative process has considerably improved our planning effectiveness, resulting in seamless turnaround execution and reduced operational costs. In practice, this means preparing detailed work packages for preventive and corrective maintenance tasks, prioritizing equipment criticality based on RCM analysis. With strong adherence to safety and quality practices, I\'ve driven initiatives to maintain zero HSEQ incidents. My track record includes achieving 100% compliance with Departmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which emphasize punctual execution and quality standards. Overall, my strategy emphasizes a blend of strategic oversight, stakeholder engagement, and a commitment to continual improvement.
