Click here to view a document explaining Management of Change process at each workflow stage.

• MOC progression through stages such as Pre-approve, Originate (scope),Collaborate (online discussions with SMEs), Approve, Implement, Start-up and Close-out (see workflow above).
• Ability to create customized forms and checklists that aid completion of Management of Change tasks, such as engineering and process hazard reviews, process safety information documentation update, Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR), and punch list items.
• Pre-approvals and approvals are conducted online by one or more people or position titles, in any order desired.
• Approvers can approve, disapprove or place hold on any Management of Change request, with a convenient method to store, retrieve, edit and re-workflow any disapproved request.
• Generate, assign and track critical and non-critical action items for any Management of Change request.
• Enforce completion of all critical tasks and action items prior to start-up of the MOC.
• Seamless notification and training of people affected by the MOC.
• Create standardized Management of Change templates that have collaborators, approvers, tasks, implementers and checklists pre-populated for various categories of changes. Such pre-defined templates speed up the MOC creation process, and maintain workflow consistency.
• Allow frontline workers (operators and technicians) to conveniently submit and track Management of Change requests.
• Attach drawings (P&IDs), documents (procedures), and equipment data to Management of Change requests.
• Link equipment tag numbers to Management of Change requests to maintain lifetime change history of any piece of equipment.
• Automatic and on-demand e-mail notifications designed to enforce Management of Change progression through workflow stages, action item completions and change awareness training. Special e-mail notification configurations allow managing temporary and emergency changes.
• Manage temporary changes via mandatory expiration dates, notifications of expiring changes and resumption of normal operation, or approved extension of temporary operation.
• Allow managers to forward Management of Change tasks to their designated backups in their absences.
• Easily retrievable complete Management of Change data that includes all pre-approver, collaborator, approver and implementer comments, completed checklists, attachments, action items, and training/notification sign-offs.
• Designed as an enterprise SaaS software, each location can individually create and configure Management of Change requests with enterprise-level functions, tracking, reporting and management capabilities.
