Fluor’s solution balances the consistency of a centralized approach with the responsiveness of self-directed site teams. A core management and technical team works with Luminant to guide the overall program, coordinate resource deployment, and help plan major outages. Dedicated site-based teams perform ongoing maintenance for plants requiring full-time support, while supplemental resources support plants requiring periodic support.
Because the work requires close interaction between Fluor personnel and the individual plant operating teams, the overall program is executed in a highly collaborative arrangement. To ensure alignment with Luminant’s business objectives, a joint Luminant/Fluor steering committee meets regularly.
Today, nearly 400 Fluor staff and craft personnel provide full-time support for Luminant, increasing up to 1,500 personnel during major plant outages.
This cooperative relationship creates a working environment that encourages and rewards teamwork, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Plant reliability is enhanced through consistent application of best practices, operating costs are reduced through improved employee productivity, and outage durations are shortened through detailed planning and scheduling.
Both companies work together to make personal, plant, and community safety top priorities and to create a diverse workforce focused on meeting the energy needs of Luminant’s customers.
