Abstract

Asset integrity is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of industrial facilities, avoiding accidents, equipment issues, and unexpected stops with financial and safety impacts. There is limited research on asset integrity, and a comprehensive investigation of asset integrity indicators is lacking. The study aims to analyse literature and find indicators of asset integrity for decision-making at different levels, ensuring optimal asset use and maintenance. A selection process is done on scholarly articles from 2000 to 2023, taken from databases like Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. Nineteen articles are chosen after examining their abstracts and complete texts. These selected articles underwent a thorough review process to extract indicators of asset integrity. Through a detailed analysis of the 19 articles in this study, we identify 68 distinctive indicators associated with asset integrity. These indicators provide insights into various factors that impact asset condition and well-being. Notably, three indicators ‘reliability’, ‘environmental effects’ and ‘preventive and corrective maintenance’ are most frequent. This finding highlights the importance of these indicators in the realm of asset integrity. With time and industrialisation, organisations are more focused on protecting their assets. Hence, it is important to recognise and prioritise the results from indicators while maintaining asset integrity.
