Introduction
• Process plants contain an astronomical amount of data from disparate systems, measurements and applications
• Each system contains a unique and complex collection of tags, programs, databases, and user interfaces similar to the information encoded in the DNA of natural organisms
• Unlike natural organisms, “automation genomes” evolve daily and the data from one system often propagates to others through integration

Introduction (Cont’d)
• Improper changes to automation systems can have a tremendous negative impact upon plant safety, availability, and compliance
• Personnel sometimes change control system tuning, alarms and configurations outside of approved constants – posing the risk of upsets and incidents, while making it more difficult to recover from downtime
• With the threat of new viruses, all automation configuration changes must be detected and reconciled with standard procedures

Why is MOC Important? (Cont’d)
• A well-designed Management of Change (MOC) process is an essential loss prevention tool for industrial manufacturers
• MOC applies to any company seeking to avoid future losses resulting from today’s changes
• Effective MOC collects relevant data within a process plant, gives it context, and presents this information to personnel where and when they need it

Why is MOC Important? (Cont’d)
• In a typical industrial operation, the approval process for major re-work does not always address specific changes within the automation layer
• Most MOC systems tend to be either paper-based, or an electronic version of the paper-based system, and utilized in conjunction with a work order
• Current MOC methodologies often result in changes being filed away and forgotten after the change has been implemented

Why is MOC Important? (Cont’d)
• Effective Management of Change must provide: – Protection of intellectual property associated with control strategies,
graphics, interfaces, interlocks, and alarm management strategies by capturing and documenting knowledge
– Business continuity assurance with quick root cause analysis and business operations recovery of critical process automation knowledge
– Intelligent management of change workflow instructions for making and approving changes

What is Honeywell’s Approach? • Intelligent Management of Change (iMOC™) is an innovative
workflow process management application for those concerned with meeting enterprise-wide MOC and compliance requirements – Provides a unified and efficient way to manage change, security and
compliance across plant control and safety systems while improving reliability through risk mitigation
– Designed for use by plant supervisory personnel with access to modify critical systems, controllers and databases • Distributed control systems • Safety systems • Programmable logic controllers • Field instrumentation databases • Advanced solutions

What is Honeywell’s Approach? (Cont’d)
• Unlike “homegrown” MOC tools, iMOC is an integrated add-in module that runs on top of DOC4000® software to map the automation genome of industrial plants – Leverages Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate information push and
collaboration
– Aggregates and contextualizes configuration databases, programs and user interfaces
– Simplifies the visualization and management of information in plant automation systems
DOC4000® is a registered trademark of PAS, Inc.

What is Honeywell’s Approach? (Cont’d)
• With iMOC added to DOC4000, Honeywell customers are able to manage proposed changes through an automated and highly organized approval process
• iMOC solution is either specific to the user’s control system environment or integrated with an enterprise-wide MOC infrastructure

How Does the Solution Work?
• iMOC leverages context-based information in the DOC4000 database to create a robust and automated MOC process for industrial control systems – Automatically compiles the initial information and documentation
needed to start an MOC process
– Changes are reconciled in the system to those outlined in the MOC package
– End user defines the workflow and process so the solution is endlessly configurable to meet the needs of a particular site or facility
Honeywell Proprietary

How Does the Solution Work? (Cont’d)
• Together, iMOC and DOC4000 provide a complete solution for managing changes from their inception all the way to completion, as well as verification that changes were made properly – Customized workflow process
definition and checklist – Detects and reconciles
automation changes – Configurable checklist ensures
approval is facilitated properly – Automatically pushes information
to next person required to take action
– Routes MOC package for approval – Integrates with existing
MOC processes

What’s the Value to Customers?
• Supported through Honeywell’s Global Technical Assistance Center, the iMOC solution offers important benefits to Honeywell customers around the world – Manufacturers who need to meet compliance requirements for
MOC and avert incidents that can be costly to production and reputation
– Industrial organizations seeking to avoid problems, mitigate the risk of environmental incidents, and accelerate restoration of operations as part of disaster recovery

What’s the Value to Customers? (Cont’d)
• Unlike MOC strategies limited to “change tracking” only, Honeywell’s approach enables industrial facilities to: – Avoid making mistakes (by adding the pre-approval requirement)
– Know what changes have been made to their systems
– Assess what happened to cause a situation
– Resume operations after recovering from incidents or downtime
– Boost project implementation productivity

What are the Business Results?
• iMOC enables increased safety and compliance by effectively managing changes and approvals – Supports enhanced workflow management, including workflow
process definition, checklists, transitions and information push
– Protects against threats of cyber attacks and safety hazards
– Improves handling of critical issues, including undocumented changes
– Improves regulatory compliance
– Reduces error-prone MOC tasks and unauthorized changes that increase risk

What are the Business Results? (Cont’d)
• iMOC captures and protects intellectual property at 45%* less cost than manual methods – Detects all automation changes – Reconciles MOC cases to changes in the automation system – Automatically generates reports of un-reconciled changes – Documents all changes made to the system, allowing for fast root cause
analysis to ensure business continuity – Saves days of investigation and potentially significant financial impact to
production
• iMOC also reduces project costs by as much as 15% by using automated documentation capabilities to create as-built configuration documentation
*Analysis over 3-year period compares cost of software, implementation and ongoing support

Conclusion
• If automation assets are part of your plant’s critical infrastructure, then an effective MOC solution is a key necessity
• Proper MOC is also a best practice from both a safety and economic viewpoint
• Honeywell’s iMOC solution for the process industries prevents incidents, which improves safety, reliability and profitability, and helps ensure regulatory compliance
