MOC process
(OP)
What are people using to manage the management of change process?
We currently have a paper system which is atrocious. I am looking to upgrade and would like some references to good functioning systems.
Thanks

My last company used all paper. I reorganized it by creating an Access database and an Excel spreadsheet to manage and track changes.

I refer to MOC in chemicals industrial setting. The ad at the top of your link actually has some potential.

The key is knowing who's desk an MOC is on. If you can do that, then the rest is pretty manageable.

In an aviation engine plant we called the system the 'Chevrolet' system. The implication is that a major change would cause the creation of later revision numbers. In this manner the change does not get lost. PN xxxxx-02 [assy or detail part] would include the desired change. It would be built into a corresponding higher level assy number, etc.

RE: MOC process
At previous employer we had paper system that actually worked better in my opion. However, it was only really dealing with the drawing/data pack. How it got cut into production and/or units in the field was handled separately.
We have a 'filemaker' data base here, meant to be goind to Access but the 'access guru' quit some time back and we don't have a replacement. With this they try to also manage cutting into production/field and frankly, from an Engineering point of view it's a real pain, very cumbersome without any where near as much benefit as you'd hope from having an integrated change system.
KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?
RE: MOC process
Nothing should bypass it = have a very clear definition of what a change is and write it on the walls (I mean this literally). Any unmanaged change is highly discouraged (nearmiss investigation).
Change initiator compiles his paperwork (have clear definition of requirements for various types of changes) and sends it to MOC committee for their weekly meeting. MOC committee reviews and clearly indicates any corrections required. One member is administrator, keeps all packages and verifies corrected package. MOC committee then checks any applicable boxes on the "documents and procedures to be updated" list (= outputs). Administrator verifies document/procedural updates.
Much of whether it works or not is determined by people's attitudes.
