Workshop Overview:
Management of Change (MOC) is perhaps the most complex business process to implement in a manufacturing facility. It covers the gamut of plant operations (i.e. procedural change, alarm change) all the way to organizational change that ultimately touches everyone in an organization. While the goal is to minimize the effects of employee turnover and reduce plant incidents, implementation of MOC can be quite challenging. OSHA Best Practices suggest that paper-based processes are no longer acceptable. In addition, poor close out of MOCs and the lack of administrative control during startups and shutdowns lead to additional operating risks. A large portion of a company’s process safety incidents occur during these operating phases. To further aggravate things the lack of interconnection with plant information systems (i.e. MOCs tied to work orders and parts inventory), lack of MOC process integration (with Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR), HAZOP, Inspection, Testing & Preventive Maintenance (ITPM), vetting out of business processes in isolation and departmental isolation all inhibit the ability of organizations to make timely risk informed decisions. While the goal is one company culture, companies continue to struggle with holistically addressing Operational Risk Management (ORM) to bring this all together.

These challenges are causing industry to seek out a more integrated approach to protect their brand value, while enhancing compliance, assurance and asset uptime. ORM strategy helps companies to enable effective decision support to avoid the next “big event” while increasing its net asset value.

Objectives:
This workshop will show you an effective MOC and PSSR Program by leveraging the ORM strategy to get to more predictive outcomes.

Key Workshop Focus/Agenda:
• Best Practices in designing MOC processes, policies and procedures
• Key business processes and systems to integrate with MOC
• MOC Day In The Life Of (DILO)
• Retooling to leverage ORM and an overview of a leading MOC solution
• Effective auditing of MOC and PSSR management systems
• The effects of the Baker Panel Report and other regulatory drivers on MOC
