• B. Contract Strategy & Management
• C. Integrity Assurance
• D. Management of Change

Answer: (D)

Management of Change is the formal process that governs how changes to workflows and operating procedures are evaluated, approved, implemented, and reviewed. It ensures that when a workflow or procedure is modified, potential safety, reliability, or compliance impacts are identified and addressed before the change goes live. This typically involves documenting the proposed change, performing a risk and impact assessment, obtaining appropriate approvals, communicating the change to affected staff, providing training if needed, implementing the change with proper controls, and conducting a post-implementation review to verify that the change achieves its intended effect without introducing new problems. Other functions, like planning and scheduling work, contracting for maintenance, or verifying system integrity, address different aspects of maintenance work or asset care, but they do not provide the formal governance framework for evaluating and implementing changes to workflows.
