Change is constant in asset-intensive industries. Without a structured method of managing these changes, organizations quickly begin to accumulate risk factors such as safety incidents, compliance violations, and costly downtime.
Management of Change (MOC) is a feature within the Maximo Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) module that helps companies mitigate these risks by maintaining control and oversight over operational changes. This functionality ensures all updates are properly reviewed, approved, and communicated to staff before changes go into effect. Think of it like the “track changes” feature in Microsoft Word. This level of control and documentation is especially beneficial for companies required to adhere to strict regulations, such as food manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas industries.
Management of Change can help teams:
- Improve workplace safety: Ensures all requests are reviewed with safety checks to prevent hazardous conditions
- Remain compliant: Standardized workflows and audit trails help teams meet industry-specific OSHA standards
- Reduce unplanned downtime: Plans are reviewed and deployed carefully to avoid equipment failure
- Increase staff transparency and accountability: Saved work history records identify who approved what, when, and why
Companies across the globe utilize Maximo MOC to keep their employees safe and operations running smoothly.
