RIMAP what is (was!) it?

A joint European research project for a sy stematic procedure to manage risk by
identifying and prioritising inspection and maintenance activities

RIMAP
Risk based Inspection and
Maintenance Procedures for
European industry
Establish a European framework for risk based
inspection and maintenance planning (cf. API project)
Provide basis for continuous improvement in the industry
Forming the basis for future standardisation in this area
S TEINBEIS ADVANCED RISK TECHNOLOGIES

RIMAP project goals

Develop a unified approach to risk based inspection
and maintenance planning
Setting requirements to the contents of an analysis,
personnel qualifications and tools
Improve cost effectiveness of inspection and
maintenance resources
Considers both SHE and business risk -current
practice tends to focus on safety
Systematic use of experience data

Industry: Beat US on the

global RBI market!

Lessons learned
Its never early enough!
Do not forget costs! Who can afford the luxury of making a
standard?
Do not underestimate difficult communications process!
Who is Finland, France, Germany ?
Optimize your own standardization with existing TCs! the
people there might be not your people, THEY have paid
already

HAVE the standardization as a part of the business plan!

no matter how much FIXED money you plan for it, it will be
spent sooner or later. Only a running business can
support, a really active running standardization
process
S TEINBEIS ADVANCED RISK TECHNOLOGIES

MAIN Lesson learned

Only a running business

can support, a really active
running standardization
process
in RIMAP the consortium delegated it to a new
partner (Steinbeis Advanced Risk Technologies GmbH)
and in subsequent projects we had upfront!
