| configuration management document control: Engineering Documentation Control Handbook Frank B. Watts, 2011-10-11 In this new edition of his widely-used Handbook, Frank Watts, widely recognized for his significant contributions to engineering change control processes, provides a thoroughly practical guide to the implementation and improvement of Engineering Documentation Control (EDC), Product Lifecycle Management and Product Configuration Management (CM). Successful and error-free implementation of EDC/CM is critical to world-class manufacturing. Huge amounts of time are wasted in most product manufacturing environments over EDC/CM issues such as interchangeability, document release and change control – resulting in faults, product release delays and overspends. The book is packed with specific methods that can be applied quickly and accurately to almost any industry and any product to control documentation, request changes to the product, implement changes and develop bills of material. The result is a powerful communications bridge between the engineering function and 'the rest of the world' that makes rapid changes in products and documentation possible. With the help of the simple techniques in the handbook, companies can gain and hold their competitive advantages in a world that demands flexibility and quick reflexes – and has no sympathy for delays. The new edition sets EDC/CM in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), providing guidance on choosing, purchasing and implementing PLM software systems. Watts guides the reader to harness these tools and techniques for business objectives including Process Improvement and time-to-market. - Solid, pragmatic ideas for real product and process cost reduction. According to one reviewer: 'most books focus on the basics without examining all facets of each process area or functional area. This may be good for quickly learning, but it will only take the reader so far. Mr. Watts imparts the same information, but invites the reader to think and to consider strengths and weaknesses of processes and procedures. The copious examples, illustrations and breadth of topics covered make this book the reference on EDC and CM.' - Strategic emphasis shows how processes may be integrated and tears down the 'wall' between Engineering and Operations - Thorough description of Product Lifecycle Management software tools |
| configuration management document control: Configuration Management Metrics Frank B. Watts, 2009-08-26 Configuration Management Metrics: Product Lifecycle and Engineering Documentation Control Process Measurement and Improvement provides a comprehensive discussion of measurements for configuration management/product lifecycle processes. Each chapter outlines one of the most important measures of merit – the need for written policy and procedures. The best of the best practices as to the optimum standards are listed with an opportunity for the reader to check off those that their company has and those they do not. The book first defines the concept of configuration management (CM) and explains its importance. It then discusses the important metrics in the major CM and related processes. These include: new item release; order entry/fulfillment; request for change; bill of material change cost; and field change. Ancillary processes which may or may not be thought of as part of these major processes are also addressed, including deviations, service parts, publications and field failure reporting. - Provides detailed guidance on developing and implementing measurement systems and reports - Demonstrates methods of graphing and charting data, with benchmarks - A practical resource for the development of Engineering Documentation Control processes - Includes basic principles of Product Lifecycle processes and their measurement |

| configuration management document control: Engineering Documentation Control Handbook Frank B. Watts, 2000-12-31 The wall or gap between Engineering and the rest of the world has existed too long. Watts, with EC3 Corp. in Winter Park, CO, therefore emphasizes Engineering Documentation Control (EDC) or Configuration Management (CM)--distinguishing between the two--as a key business strategy in tandem with Total Quality Manufacturing, and takes a generic approach applicable to commercial and defense agency-related companies. This iteration (no date is specified for the first) includes a new chapter on benchmarking based on actual survey results, and expanded coverage of interchangeability and change costs. The volume concludes with CM predictions for the future. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
| configuration management document control: Practice Standard for Project Configuration Management Project Management Institute, 2007-04-01 Most projects present teams with challenges relating to time, cost and scope. Careful management of these project elements allows projects to be completed successfully. In order to guide a project's direction, project managers utilize the process of configuration management. Project configuration management is the collective body of processes, activities, tools, and methods used to manage certain items during the project lifecycle. Configuration management is implemented to actively guide the direction of the project and support communication that will facilitate successful completion. Due to the increasing complexity of projects and greater competition among companies, the knowledge of configuration management techniques is more important than ever. |

| configuration management document control: Software Configuration Management Patterns Steve Berczuk, Brad Appleton, 2020-05-21 Stereotypes portray software engineers as a reckless lot, and stereotypes paint software configuration management (SCM) devotees as inflexible. Based on these impressions, it is no wonder that projects can be riddled with tension! The truth probably lies somewhere in between these stereotypes, and this book shows how proven SCM practices can foster a healthy team-oriented culture that produces better software. The authors show that workflow, when properly managed, can avert delays, morale problems, and cost overruns. A patterns approach (proven solutions to recurring problems) is outlined so that SCM can be easily applied and successfully leveraged in small to medium sized organizations. The patterns are presented with an emphasis on practicality. The results speak for themselves: improved processes and a motivated workforce that synergize to produce better quality software. |
