Change Control

Management should ensure proposed changes to the plant configuration are

warranted and properly controlled. As noted in "Control of Interfaces" above,

many activities performed during day-to-day maintenance operations of the plant

can have an adverse impact on plant configuration, material condition, and plant

design bases if planned or performed improperly. Management should routinely

review the conduct of these activities to ensure inadvertent and uncontrolled

changes to the plant are not made.

D ocument Control

Management should ensure documents are verified to be the current approved

version prior to use. Discrepancies between actual plant configuration and

controlled documents should be identified, tracked, evaluated, and expeditiously

resolved. Since information describing plant configuration is frequently

duplicated in documents controlled by different organizations, a method of

cross-referencing documents should be established to aid in the identification of

documents affected by change. Additional guidelines for controlling documents

are provided in Section 5, "Document Control."
