Managing Integrity
Topic 4 – Planning and Resourcing
• Good asset integrity requires a clear vision of
the objectives that will maintain or improve the
integrity performance. These goals need to be
translated into clear plans at various levels and the
plans must be supported by systems that provide
the required resources. This approach forms the
basis of BG Group aims to operate all Assets under
a process of Integrated Activity Planning and
Scheduling (IAPS).
• Integrated planning has to be done at multiple
levels but must be consistent with the overall asset
goals that have been set. Resources, which may
consist of people, budgets, logistics, materials etc,
are a crucial link in the integrity chain and if not
available at the correct time and place will cause
delays in risk reduction activities.

Asset Integrity Guide
• Within planning and resourcing, the key areas are:
– Having sound documented plans in place at all
levels and for various timescales, from long-term
strategic goals through to daily executable work
– Management of the planning process to ensure
fulfilment and adjustment of the plans based
upon actual performance
– Provision of adequate resourcing to ensure that
activities can be done within the required time
periods
– Prioritisation and alignment of activities
across functions to ensure that maintenance
opportunities (e.g. during unplanned
plant shutdown) are always taken and
that maintenance activities are prioritised
appropriately with respect to other activities
