This document provides information about a Management of Change (MOC) Training Course. The 3-5 day course, led by a senior instructor with over 25 years experience, aims to help participants understand how to develop, implement, and maintain an effective MOC program. The course covers topics such as defining MOC, categorizing changes, conducting MOC reviews, monitoring the MOC program, and incorporating legal/regulatory requirements. It is intended for operations, maintenance, engineering, and safety personnel who are involved in reviewing and approving changes or overseeing process safety. The goal is to refresh or build knowledge of MOC techniques to help companies safely manage changes to their processes and facilities over the lifecycle from design to decommissioning

Management of Change (MOC) Training Course
Introduction
The success of every company depends of each employee's understanding of
the key business components. Employee training and development will unlock
the companies' profitability and reliability. When people, processes and
technology work together as a team developing practical solutions, companies
can maximize profitability and assets in a sustainable manner. Training and
development is an investment in future success - give yourself and your
employees the keys to success
It is strategically important that your team understands the fundamentals of
process unit operations concepts. This is the difference between being in the
best quartile of operational ability and being in the last quartile. There is vast
difference in the operational ability of operating companies and most
benchmarking studies have confirmed this gap in operational abilities.
Whether you have a team of new or seasoned employees, an introduction or
review of these concepts are very beneficial in closing the gap if you are not in
the best quartile, or maintaining a leadership position. Most studies show that a
continuous reinforcement of best practices in operational principles is the most
effective way to obtain the desired results. Training and learning should be an on
going continuous life long goal.

Course Background
Changes are inevitable during the life cycle of any manufacturing facility.
Changes occur design, construction, operation, decommissioning, mothballing
and demolition. MOC is a critical success factor of any Process Safety
Management (PSM) Program. It ensures that each proposed change undergoes
the appropriate level of technical and EHS review any change does not
inadvertently introduce new hazards or unknowingly increase the risk of existing
hazards.
Course Objective
The objective of this course is to understand all critical success factors of MOC
Program to ensure its implementation effectiveness. The course aims to:
1. Build understanding on MOC
2. Provide guidance on developing an effective program for MOC
3. How to maintain an effective MOC program
Course Duration and Delivery
Typical course duration is 3 to 5 days based on the background of the
participates. One of our Senior Technical Professional with over 25 years of
experience would lead the class. Instruction can be in house or in an online
webinar.
