asset integrity management (aim) covers a wide range of aspects, encompassing the integrity of personnel, procedures, equipment, and facilities. it requires a comprehensive consideration of various factors to minimize asset risks to the greatest extent possible. aim is the capability to effectively and efficiently execute the necessary functions of assets while safeguarding life and the environment.
the primary objective of an asset integrity management (aim) system is to manage activities aimed at maintaining asset integrity and preventing losses or damages. its aim is to ensure asset integrity, minimize commercial risks associated with production accidents and losses, and protect life and the environment. relevant management activities ensure that personnel, systems, processes, and resources for maintaining integrity are in place and utilized to fulfill the purpose throughout the entire asset lifecycle. it's crucial to assess the effectiveness of systems, procedures, and tools used on-site for controlling operations and maintaining assets. therefore, accurate evaluation of equipment performance degradation is necessary to help make decisions during operational periods on whether to allow continued factory operations.
the objective of an asset integrity management (aim) system is to meet the commercial demand for maximizing asset returns while maintaining stakeholder value and minimizing commercial risks associated with production accidents and losses. through relevant management activities, it ensures that personnel, systems, processes, and resources for maintaining integrity are in place and utilized to fulfill the purpose throughout the entire asset lifecycle.
asset integrity management (aim) assists businesses in controlling the changing risks throughout the full lifecycle of assets (design, construction, operation, decommissioning) within reasonable and acceptable limits, reducing and preventing equipment accidents, and achieving the safety, environmental protection, reliability, efficiency, and maximization of asset value.
