Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS) for the Reduction of Industrial Risks

Abstract

An Asset Integrity Management System is a necessary component of a well-functioning company. Arthur D. Little (ADL) proposes a 5-step approach towards building a robust and reliable system, that may help in better controlling risks resulting from all conditions and situations that may affect the integrity of assets during all life- cycle, such as ageing of assets, process variables modifications, management of different products, etc. The solid management system thus developed produces tangible results from which the whole company culture may reap benefits.
