Over the past four years, Luke has led the successful yet ongoing implementation of the Global Reliability Program at DPW Southampton, transforming their maintenance culture and capabilities.

This session will explore how they have moved from a culture where maintenance was largely reactive, with limited awareness or application of proactive and predictive strategies to the present day where maintenance decisions are informed by condition monitoring technologies and data analytics.

Key initiatives to be discussed include:

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) driven by failure codes from the CMMS
• Precision alignment techniques
• Oil sampling and analysis
• Thermographic inspections
• Ultrasound technology integration
• Implementation of a Lubrication Excellence Program

Luke began his career at DP World in 2008/9 as an Engineering Apprentice, progressing through various roles within the department while earning an Engineering degree. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Senior Leadership, he now leads the Global Reliability Program at DP World Southampton - utilising a team of in house developed specialist’s technicians to help improve engineering performance through Reliability focused aspects, such as predictive technology, data analytics and RCA facilitation, while also advising other European terminals on the DPW Reliability Program, best practices, knowledge sharing and auditing.
