Quadri Kazeem

n today’s refining and petrochemical operations, reliability engineering plays a pivotal role in ensuring safe, efficient, and uninterrupted production. Quadri Kazeem, Reliability Engineer at Phillips 66, will share how his team is applying structured reliability methodologies, data analytics, and cross-functional collaboration to reduce failures, extend asset life, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Drawing from real- world examples, Quadri will highlight how proactive reliability strategies are delivering measurable impact across critical systems. 

• How failure history, condition monitoring, and performance trends are used to identify and mitigate risks before they escalate. 

• Applying RCM principles to prioritize maintenance activities, optimize PM intervals, and reduce unnecessary interventions. 

• Using structured problem-solving tools to uncover root causes, implement corrective actions, and prevent recurrence. 

• Building alignment across departments to ensure shared ownership of asset performance and reliability goals. 

• Real-world examples of how reliability engineering influenced turnaround planning, reduced downtime, and improved asset readiness.
