Discusses digitizing Management of Change and proposes a closed-loop model linking audits, technical authority, and continuous improvement to optimize MOC performance. The paper highlights how emerging technologies—real-time analytics, big data, automation (including robotic process automation), and AI—can improve visibility, consistency, and detection of uncontrolled changes. For PSM, it is directly relevant to designing an end-to-end MOC system that integrates with related elements (PHA/LOPA updates, PSSR, process safety information, and training), while managing new digital risks (alarm/notification overload, loss of expertise, and data quality).
