This course describes the CMII approach to configuration management and how to overcome the deficiencies of traditional CM practices. It describes why the CMII model has been adopted worldwide as the best CM practice.
As-planned and as-released baselines, closely coupled with a closed-loop change process, are the cornerstone to the CMII model. The model provides a business process infrastructure with which any organization can escape the corrective action mode and become a world-class performer.
The CMII model enables an organization to accommodate change and keep requirements clear, concise and valid. Without this capability, an organization has no choice but to operate in a corrective action mode.
This course will show that deficiencies in released information stem from deficiencies in the CM process. It will describe the CM process improvements needed to overcome those deficiencies |

A change process cannot be fast and efficient change process if the information being changed is not properly identified, structured, linked and owned. The first section of this course focuses on identification and the structuring of physical item hierarchies and linkages.
The second focuses on development. It describes a 4-tier, 9-step process for developing any type of end-item product. It describes end-item application requirements, the design basis, detailed designs and processes and also builds the first end-item.
The third section describes how to apply CMII in the other life cycle phases; production, operation, maintenance and decommissioning.
The fourth section describes how to apply the same CM principles and techniques to the business enterprise. It describes a strategic business plan and how it is used to identify the core business processes and process owners. It describes how to create a consolidated set of operating standards and write administrative procedures. |
