        The requirement for change is recognized. A decision is made on whether the change has to follow the MoC process. MoC request is initiated.

        The MoC request is screened by appropriate personnel (Experts) who agree the need for MoC and the priority by which the MoC request must be dealt with.

      3. Review

        Risk assessment. The type of risk assessment used will vary depending on the type of change and the level of risk likely to be incurred.

      4. Approval

        The MoC request and detailed risk assessment are approved by the decision makers (management).

      5. Implementation

        If approval is given, the change can be installed through the appropriate business process (e.g. construction, procedure update) to a fully worked solution.
