Asset Performance Improvement
As part of our offering Fluor Driver uses proven, measurable asset performance improvement techniques which assist clients with improving the effectiveness of their assets, processes, people and equipment. Our experts identify gaps between a client’s current state and industry best practices, then develops a plan to close those gaps with clear articulation of the scope, benefits, resources, schedule and cost.

An example around equipment would see our reliability team create an inventory of all equipment and develop failure mode scenarios with special emphasis on mission critical pieces. Then we develop preventive and predictive maintenance tasks and inspection approaches to improve equipment reliability. A systematic failure elimination program is also implemented to continually make run-time improvements. Our planning and scheduling team evaluates and works with your work order system to ensure that work is properly identified, planned, approved, scheduled, and executed in a manner that increases employee performance for outages and day-to-day work.

A Heavy Emphasis on Analysis and Planning
Analysis and planning are at the core of our approach. Using proven business risk management techniques we place heavy emphasis on planning, risk identification and mitigation before a wrench is turned. Our formalized and systematic risk management techniques have been developed over many years and have proven highly effective at identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring and addressing risks. Specifically, identified risks are qualitatively rated based on the severity of the potential consequences as well as the likelihood of the event, and prioritized accordingly. Mitigation strategies are researched and evaluated for capability, feasibility, cost effectiveness, and preference. Common mitigation strategies include avoiding, transferring, reducing, and/or accepting the risk and its consequences. Once the preferred strategies have been selected, cost and benefit opportunities are evaluated, detailed action plans are documented along with due dates and responsible parties, and the plan is then reviewed and approved by management.

And we do all this on a timely and cost-effective basis.

In many cases these projects are particularly cost effective as our Steady State Maintenance teams often play a large role in completing this work. This approach not only affects cost, it results in better project outcomes due to existing relationships with client engineering and operations people and their deep understanding of the plant design and operation.
