When we talk about 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚, we often focus on technical aspects.
But according to the 𝑪𝑴𝑹𝑷 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆, asset integrity actually depends on three key pillars:

⚙️ 𝗜𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
This is the reliability built into the asset through design. It defines the probability of an asset to perform an intended function under certain conditions during a specific period of time.

🔧 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
This includes all activities aimed at preserving or restoring the asset's condition over time.

🛠️ 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
This is how the equipment is actually used in the field - including operating practices, discipline, and human factors.

While all three pillars are critical, experience across many industries shows that:
👉 𝑨 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔.
In other words, even a well-designed and well-maintained asset can fail if it is not operated properly.
So, the real question becomes:

Here are a few practical levers:
• Strengthening operator training and qualification
• Improving operating procedures and discipline
• Implementing TPM

As per my experience, the first one is a paramount action to achieve this goal.
What do you think of it?
What actions do you think have the biggest impact on improving operating conditions and reducing failures?

Thanks for the post...this is one that seems to travel around companies constantly.   I would say the foundation that ties all of these items together is a culture of reliability.   Ramesh Gulati does a really nice job explaining culture with real world examples in his book Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices.  This culture ties all parts of the plant together working toward the same goal with the same thought process.   My experience is most manufacturers have a somewhat siloed approach to their teams with operations and maintenance many times at odds with one and other.   A TPM program works to adopt this culture and partnership with the maintenance and operation teams but it requires significant coaching and mentoring to get this cultural change to take place.   It is also very important to have engagement and alignment with senior leadership within the site, division and corporation.  Without it,  all gains will be lost in a matter of time.   As far as your comment on "the first one is a paramount action",  I believe if you attempt to accomplish this like an action item you will fail.   If you take the TPM approach where you understand gaps and use maintenance to coach and improve documentation as a continuous improvement cycle then 1. you are never done and 2. its broken down into bite size pieces which are more easily accepted.   Really good discussion,  I'm interested to hear what other's thoughts on this subject are.
