LOG 204 provides managers and functional staff with the knowledge of how to apply
Configuration Management (CM) successfully. It includes the interrelationship of CM to life cycle design activities and logistics support. LOG 204 provides an overview of the concepts and basic practices of CM, including configuration identification, audits, control, status accounting, as well as data management. Impacts on CM by Acquisition Reform, the integrated data environment, open systems, and commercial/non-developmental items are discussed. Continuing scenario exercises trace CM in the technical development, production, and support of a system. Requirements to design, develop, implement, and operate a CM program are discussed.
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to apply CM oversight as a tool in the Integrated Process and Product Development (IPPD) effort for system management; and when given a scenario, utilize the IPPD approach to manage the configuration for a system during its life cycle. This five day assignment-specific classroom course is geared for logisticians and systems engineers involved in the development of systems and life cycle support.
