Abstract
The
'strategic' management of technical integrity has become high profile recently within
inspection and maintenance of assets in the process industry. The assets such
as production and process facilities must be optimized and prioritized based on
whether they are at the beginning or end of their design life.
In both cases, it is vital to ensure that sufficient condition
monitoring data from all relevant sources are collated and analyzed as a part
in a planned scheme of inspection and maintenance. This is largely driven by
certifying authority requirements, sound mechanical and corrosion engineering
principles as well as inspection and maintenance approaches, indicated in a
plant strategy.
Author proposes a model to execute plant strategy using an analytic hierarchy
process method. The model indicates the incorporation of requirements specified
in a plant strategy for reaching optimized, prioritized and cost–effective
outcome.
