Organizational Management of Change (OMOC)

Changes in job responsibilities, loss of key personnel, or even changes in shift hours can lead to serious incidents with potentially severe consequences. Organizational Management of Change (OMOC) is attracting increasing scrutiny from regulators and corporate stakeholders, prompting the publication of the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) “Guidelines for Managing Process Safety Risks During Organizational Change”.

FACILEX® Organizational Management of Change (OMOC) provides an out-of-the-box configuration of the OMOC business process based on the CCPS guidelines.

Managing these changes goes beyond on-boarding processes and involves process and pipeline safety management expertise in addition to traditional human resource skills.  FACILEX® OMOC provides a framework to manage organizational change.

FACILEX® OMOC provides procedures for managing changes to personnel or organizational structure, temporary conditions, and procedure changes.

• Personnel changes refer to changes to safety critical roles, skills, and people
• Structural changes are changes to safety critical positions,  accountability,  and critical management programs
• Temporary conditions refer to transitional changes when people take on temporary assignments or as interim structural changes are being made.
• Policy and procedure changes can affect the ability to manage risk during the organizational change.

Capabilities and key features include the ability to:

• Initiate a proposed organizational change
• Parent/Child relationships to connect related OMOCs
• Progressive scoping to identify management system risks and impacts
• Layers of Protection (LOPA),
• Conduct a risk assessment of the change
• Process authorization to implement the change
• Assign action items to mitigate the identified risks
• Track and close action items
• Notify stakeholders of the change and the implementation plan
• Verify all the affected documents and systems have been updated
