MOC Porch

The MOC (Management of Change) Porch) is for keeping track of suggested component property edits. The Current MOC Porch shows the MOC edits that are pending approval. The Historical MOC Porch allows you to query for MOC edits that were approved or rejected within the specified date range.

In the grid, the Property column shows the property suggested for change (e.g., Type). The Original Value column shows what the property was originally (e.g., Compressor), and the Suggested Value column shows the proposed edit (e.g., Pump). You might also find other columns to be important. To optimize the use of this porch, it’s essential to customize the grid according to your specific needs.

Within the Current MOC Porch, you can modify both the MOC edits and the PropertyChangeWhys. Select one or more rows you wish to change, and click Edit Selected. This will open the a window where you can input and save your changes.

If you need technicians to verify the details of the changes, you can create a QC tour. Just select the components you wish to include in the tour and click Build QC Tour. The InspectionType (AVO) and the InspectionWhy (Quality Control) will be automatically selected for you.

To approve or reject MOC edits, use the Approve Selected or Reject Selected buttons. You will have the option to add comments before saving or canceling the action. Once approved or rejected, the MOC edits will move to the Historical MOC Porch.

Note: Regarding seeing inspections on new components, if the component has not been approved, then you are unable to see those inspections. Once the inspection is approved, then you can see the it either in Inspection & Attempts > Inspections, or in Component Details > Inspections.

Researching Specific Component Property Edits

The following are examples of ways you can use the Historic MOC porch to find changes made to specific fields.

Auditing Component Type Changes

If you need to review instances where a component’s type was updated, the Historical MOC Porch is the best tool for the job. For example, to find all components changed from a "Compressor" to a "Pump" in the last quarter, set your date range accordingly. In the grid, filter the Property column for "Type," the Original Value for "Compressor," and the Suggested Value for "Pump." This allows you to verify reclassifications are being handled accurately by your team.

Tracking Rule Effectiveness (DTM Changes)

To see which components were added to or removed from "Difficult to Monitor" (DTM) status, specify your desired date range and click Search. Filter the Property column for "DTM." If you want to see components moved into DTM status, filter the Suggested Value for "Yes." This is a helpful way to audit the growth of your DTM inventory over a specific reporting period.

Reviewing Rejected Edits for Training

The Historical MOC Porch is also useful for identifying teaching moments. By setting your date range and filtering the Rejected column to "Yes," you can see all suggested edits turned down by an administrator. Reviewing the PropertyChangeWhy or the comments left during the rejection process can help you identify if technicians need more training on specific component properties.
