ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about that change filter system or, in other words, change management. Change management has another important dimension beyond filtering out undesirable changes and that is version control. Some reasons for unfunded changes are shown in and the relevant documentation are described. The chapter focuses on the assumption that all such requests will be addressed to a change committee. The administration procedures described here are generally applicable to all of these different forms. Separate registers are kept for project variations, engineering change requests, engineering queries, production permits and inspection reports. The authorization and general administration procedures already described in the chapter will apply generally to all of these forms. The procedures associated with the granting of concessions can exist in a variety of permutations and combinations of the methods described in the chapter.
