A structured management system for maintaining the integrity and fitness for service of critical equipment throughout its lifecycle.
A Mechanical Integrity Management System (MIMS) is a structured framework of policies, processes, responsibilities and controls used to ensure that critical equipment remains fit for service throughout its lifecycle. It integrates engineering, inspection, maintenance, testing, risk assessment and performance monitoring to support safe, reliable and compliant operation.
A Mechanical Integrity Management System provides the organizational framework for managing the integrity of critical physical assets.
A MIMS typically incorporates asset registers, inspection programs, maintenance strategies, risk assessments, management of change, performance monitoring and continual improvement processes to support long-term equipment integrity.
Mechanical Integrity describes the condition of physical assets, whereas a Mechanical Integrity Management System establishes the governance, processes and controls used to achieve and sustain that condition.
