Workflows
Know what the change touches before you sign it.
The slow step of MOC is not the approval. It is discovering everything a change reaches: connected systems, relief paths, procedures, drawings, training. An Intuigent sweeps the compiled plant for the full footprint and drafts the impact analysis with citations, so approvers approve.
Why changes queue for weeks
An MOC form is a set of claims about impact. Someone has to establish them, and today that means a manual search across drawings, procedures, and records that no one system holds.
- Discovery is a plant-wide question. A one-valve change can touch connected systems on other sheets, a relief path sized for the old configuration, an interlock description, three procedures, and an operator training module. Each lives in a different place, and each has to be found by hand.
- The form only shows what the search found. The impact that was not discovered does not appear on the analysis, does not get a reviewer, and surfaces later as a startup problem or worse. The quality of the MOC is set before anyone signs it.
- “Temporary” outlives its authorization. Temporary changes carry expiry dates that pass quietly. Extending is easier than removing, and the plant accumulates configurations nobody decided to keep.
Process safety management under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 expects a change's impacts to be understood before the change is made. The expectation is right. The manual search behind it is why changes wait weeks in the queue.
The workflow
The impact analysis, swept from the graph.
Give the Intuigent the change request. It resolves the change against the compiled graph of your plant and returns the footprint with a citation for every finding.
Resolve the change
Locates the affected tags, lines, and equipment in the graph and establishes the change's starting scope from the request.
Sweep the connections
Traces every connected system across sheets: upstream and downstream equipment, relief paths, interlocks, and utilities the change can reach.
Sweep the documents
Finds every procedure, drawing, datasheet, and training reference that describes the current configuration and will be wrong after the change.
Draft the analysis
Assembles the impact analysis with citations per finding, builds the redline list, and flags the items a pre-startup safety review will need.
Watch the clock
Tracks approvals, redline completion, and training updates to closure, and surfaces temporary changes before their authorization lapses.
Division of labor
IntuigentDoes the legwork
- Connected-system sweeps across sheets, cited to the P&ID
- Relief paths and interlocks that touch the change, identified for review
- Full document sweep: procedures, drawings, datasheets, training material
- A drafted impact analysis with a citation per finding
- The redline list, the PSSR item list, and expiry tracking on temporary changes
Your teamOwns the judgment
- Judges the risk and the adequacy of the controls
- Approves, rejects, or conditions the change
- Verifies the redlines and the training before startup
- Walks the pre-startup review and signs
