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

Honeywell Proprietary

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

Honeywell Proprietary

12 2012

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

Honeywell Proprietary

13 2012

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

Honeywell Proprietary

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

Honeywell Proprietary

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

18 2012

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

Honeywell Proprietary

20 2012

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

Honeywell Proprietary

22 2012

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
