Mechanical Integrity experts can articulate the many benefits of being able to effectively manage the process industry assets mechanical Integrity. However, the significance of assets mechanical integrity means many things to different stakeholders; management, operations, maintenance, projects, and HSE, but we all can agree on some common benefits that must be achieved. These include the benefits of maintaining safe operation and contained hazardous components at all times, increased profitability, operation sustainability, earning the license to operate, and grow the business. Did we get here by luck or are we really good and doing things right? Know the why you got here, how easily things can be different, and understand how to sustain a good safety culture.

The ultimate goal of any successful assets mechanical integrity management program is to safely extend the assets lifecycle and maximize the operation efficiency and productivity.

Although many operators spend significant effort to establish such successful programs; however, most recent regulatory and expert audits reveal common mistakes and failures.

In this presentation, developing mechanical integrity management program objectives, strategy, systems and procedures that define requirements, scope, roles and responsibilities, competency, technology enablers, performance indicators, audits and validations and continuous improvements will be presented with specific focus on:

- Strategies and procedures

- Performance indicators

- Sustainable implementation and continuous improvement

- Digitalized technology enablers
