Management of Change WorkFlow (CFlow™)
How does your company deal with the requirement for a management of change process? To meet the agency requirements, you must detail your plan and then follow it. If you are still accomplishing this with a paper system or using spreadsheets, word documents, or some other manual process then you need to consider CFlow, CSoft Technologies’ workflow management system, as your company’s solution.
In business today, activities may be divided into tasks handled by several different areas. Using workflow management systems can often control the relationship between tasks and their execution requirements. CFlow, CSoft Technologies’ workflow management system, helps your company definite its workflow processes and related tasks, implements the defined processes, and gives your company the flexibility it needs to change processes as business needs and information systems change.
The CSoft Work Flow System (cFlow) is designed to handle all the requirements for managing change within a chemical plant or refinery. cFlow-MOC will allow you to set up technical review committees to ensure that any change has been given all the possible attention. cFlow-MOC will track the change process from initiation all the way through PSSR items and then ensures that all the documentation is complete. cFlow-MOC has been developed in a general fashion to meet the needs of most sites but it can also be easily customized to meet any other needs.
Management of Change CFlow tracks the MOC process using a web-based workflow. Data entered into the workflow is stored in a database and is passed to the next user as the MOC progresses through all its various stages. MOC workflow provides the following basic steps:
- Initiation. The system can be configured to allow anyone to open MOC or requires user to be in a role
- MOC Gatekeeper agrees that a change requires an MOC
- Superintendent assigns a Responsible Person
- An MOC package is created including the attachment of any supporting documents
- Responsible Person sets up a Technical Review Committee to respond to a series of established an Ad Hoc question that must be responded to
- Technical Review Committee member can either approve or not approve
- PSSR items can be assigned. These can either be items required for startup or just required for closure
- Once the items required for startup have been completed then the Superintendent can give the approval to start
- After all the PSSR items have been completed then the MOC can be closed
