An AIM Inspection, Test, and Preventive Maintenance (ITPM) Template is a documented reliability and integrity strategy for a particular equipment type. The ITPM plans include the scope, failure modes, recommended ITPM tasks, and a task selection matrix. Templates feed into local RBI / RCM / and FMEA reliability processes based on local considerations
