When we analyzed MoC failures we discovered it isn’t technical incompetence. so, what is the root cause for such failures? It’s the time involved by key personnel in processing multiple changes and their effects combined with juggling other duties. What is missing is an appreciation for how change affects the workflow of operators and managers. We have seen examples of these problems in several familiar industrial accidents including flixborough, Union Carbide’s bhopal, bP’s texas City, exxonMobil’s Longford and texaco’s Pembroke. this is an important piece of information if we consider that very few companies apply Management of organizational Change MooC procedures. a brief review of industrial accidents is all that is needed to show how important it is manage the human element during process changes. the companies that are doing MooC are doing it in the same spirit as MoC; we often see a superficial discussion of a badly conceived plan. the best we’ve seen is a human factors checklist figure 1 from the Chemical Manufacturer’s association CMa , “CMA Management of Safety and Health During Organizational Change - A Resource and Tool Kit for Organizations Facing Change.” the checklist is intended as a motivational tool. there is more to an MooC review than the checklist. as a credit to the CMa, they defined how a multi-disciplined team should review and understand a change and it’s implications. one fly in the ointment is that like a Pha review, the value of a MooC study relies on the quality of the team searching out potential problems and its preparation prior to the discussion. often such a review would benefit from a “gap analysis” to ensure that the new organization fulfills the needs of the people living within its structure and the goals of the company. this goes well beyond the “Yes” and “no” of a generic checklist. 26 • february 2007 www.chemicalprocessing.com CP0702_26_31_Maintenance.indd 26 1/26/07 11:51:48 AM Warning : Unknown : The session id contains invalid characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in Unknown on line 0 Warning : Unknown : Failed to write session data files .
