William N. Weaver, P.E. and John C. Huang, Ph.D., P.E.
Course Outline
The course contains an introduction to the concept of Management of Change with information on which regulatory bodies are involved. The reasons for and benefits of the MOC process are included. Specific problems are presented in the material and questions to show the depth and breadth of the MOCprocesses.
Included are guidelines indicating when and how to use the MOC process along with the method of selecting the individuals essential to the process. Sample MOC forms are attached for use as a guide to creating facility forms. Specific instructions are provided to guide the engineer on how the change under consideration impacts individual facility departments.
This course includes
a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding
of the course materials.
