CMII Certification Course

Unit 2 - Course III & Course IV

 

Course III (Rev X) - Key Elements of the

CMII Change Process

Abstract

Outline

Course II focused on identification, physical item hierarchies, development, project planning, life cycle phases and business processes. It described the overall CM process from a business management and also a static point-of-view.

This course adds the dynamics of change to the process. It describes the key elements of the change process and their complexities.

The first section describes the complexities of change management and why it is the backbone of requirements management.

The second describes a closed-loop change process and six 1-page forms used to authorize and guide changes through each step of the process.

The third section focuses on the complex subjects of interchangeability, lot trace­ability, end-item traceability and change effectivities.

The fourth describes how business records represent work accomplished and why their accuracy is so important. It describes why design responsibility must be shared when producing the same product in other countries. It also describes why good CM precludes the need for reverse engineering and does so at a fraction of the cost.

Course IV (Rev A) -The CMII Change Process

Abstract

Outline

This course builds upon the principles developed in Courses I, II and III and focuses on the closed-loop and fast-track change process.

The first section provides a step-by-step description of the change analysis phase and the activities coordinated by Change Specialist I. It describes how technical reviews are performed and how the Change Review Board makes business decisions.

The second section describes the process for implementing approved changes and the activities coordinated by Change Specialists II and III. It describes how the Change Implementation Board extends the item and document impact matrix into a detailed change implementation plan.

The third section shows how to apply project management and capacity planning principles to the change implementation process.

The fourth section describes how CMII is applicable to Supply Chain Manage­ment. It also describes how CMII can be standardized across the business enterprise and how the CM process can be standardized across industries.
