What's the Difference between Asset Integrity Management & Mechanical Integrity?

Asset Integrity Management

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is a broad, comprehensive approach that balances costs, risks, and opportunities with asset performance to meet business objectives.

Best practice: develop the AIM capital project planning or the design stage to reduce costs and minimize risks.

Mechanical Integrity

Mechanical Integrity (MI) is a subset of asset integrity management and focuses on an asset’s ability to perform its required function to prevent, detect, and/or mitigate a major hazardous event.

Best practice: develop the MI program during the design stage of an asset.
