Asset management, hierarchy, criticality, failure modes, data and governance.

How inspection, condition monitoring, maintenance, engineering and asset management work together across an asset lifecycle.

How lifecycle asset management and technical integrity overlap without being the same discipline.

Integrity considerations from concept and design through operation, renewal and retirement.

Why asset identity, hierarchy, location, service and ownership are prerequisites for monitoring and maintenance.

How plants organize systems, equipment and components so condition data can be connected to operations.

Prioritize attention using consequence, service importance, redundancy and failure impact.

Why integrity programs focus on credible ways an asset can lose function.

Distinguish an observed indication from loss of required function.

Why equipment condition is only one input to an integrity decision.

How traceability, units, calibration, timestamping and asset identity affect decisions.

Roles, decision rights, escalation and assurance across operations, maintenance and engineering.
