In this success story, we delve into how IMS PEI transformed NAM’s approach to inspection management, enhancing audibility and ensuring robust asset integrity.
The Challenge: Paper-Heavy Inspection Processes
Traditionally, NAM operated as a Type B inspection body, relying heavily on manual inspection workflows.
The recertification process was cumbersome, involving paper checklists, physical stamps, and large volumes of documentation. This not only added layers of complexity but also demanded considerable effort and time in preparation for audits and accreditations.
The Transformation: Digital Inspection Integrity
By implementing IMS PEI, NAM revolutionized its inspection and recertification practices. The shift from paper-based documentation to a streamlined digital platform significantly reduced administrative overhead and ensured traceable, consistent, and easily retrievable inspection records.
With IMS PEI, NAM now benefits from:
- Greater transparency and traceability, strengthening confidence in asset integrity compliance.
- Digital inspection records and checklists, eliminating the need for paper trails.
- Simplified audit preparation, with all compliance and inspection data centralized and accessible.
- Improved data accuracy and consistency, thanks to standardized inspection processes.
A Future-Proof Approach to Asset Integrity
The adoption of IMS PEI addressed NAM’s immediate auditability and documentation challenges, and laid a foundation for long-term reliability in pressure equipment management. As regulatory expectations and asset complexity increase, NAM is now better equipped to demonstrate compliance and proactively manage asset integrity risks.
