successful modification from corrosion engineering to corrosion management

Corrosion engineering is important because deterioration of critical structures, pipelines, and different major assets affect the safety of people and the economy significantly. Today, it has been proven that corrosion engineering alone cannot eliminate all the corrosion damages effectively. In fact, it needs system to integrate its various execution elements. It was named Corrosion Management System (CMS). CMS is the set of procedures required for planning, executing, and continually improving the ability of an organization to manage the threat of corrosion for existing and future assets. The engineers and managers should cooperate with each other to evaluate the existing conditions and, by making changes to the structure of the organization, provide conditions for the establishment of CMS. It is depended on making changes to the system that brings with it challenges. In this paper, the exact definitions and descriptions of corrosion engineering and corrosion management will be presented. Then the required changes for implementation of organization CMS and its challenges will be discussed. Finally, the evaluation of the performance of the CMS will be considered.
