CM2 - Configuration Management
CM2(CMII) is an enhanced and modernized version of Configuration Management that helps to reduce product development and product change cycle times by improving the quality of requirements. In our CM2 Trainings (Configuration management trainings) students will get best practices, roles, workflows and templates for out-of-the-box usage in any project.
With better requirements rework, corrective action, recalls etc. will be minimized - the organization will reach "Integrated Process Excellence" level.
Benefits of Using CM2
-
Profit Increase thru Cost Avoidance
One focus of the CMII/IPE Standard is on minimizing/avoiding corrective action. By reducing corrective action, unnecessary costs will be avoided leading to increased profit and/or increased room for investment.
-
More room for creativity thru less rework
Most organizations spend more than 50% of resources on intervention fixing problems. If corrective action declines real improvements will go up.
-
Reduced Lead Time of Changes
Lead time for changes will be reduced dramatically by using the unique "fast-track" capability of the Closed-Loop CMII change process. More changes can be implemented in the same period than before.
-
Competitive Advantage thru Shorter Development Cycles
Products will be released into the market earlier by using CMII/IPE principles in product development - with better quality and less failure that today.
-
Unique and Identical Training Program World-Wide
All CMII/IPE Courses are offered world-wide with identical content and detailed how-to's no other training program offers. Course attendees will reach the same level of know-how - world-wide.
Testimonials
A few years ago I asked Ray Wozny from the Institute of Configuration Management if there was a shorter training for me, because I had 15 years of CM experience at the time. Surely I don’t need to go through the full length of training to get CMII certified? He replied that there is no shortcut, as CMII is quite different from traditional CM. At that time I thought that this was a statement to sell more training, but now that I have gone through the CMII Basic training (CMII-01 ... -04), I have to say he was right. CMII is a whole different dimension from traditional CM and I am happy to have gone through the training as it is.
For us at Atos as System Integrator, we use the best-in-class processes and products that fit a company's PLM business challenges and ambitions. CMII/IPE courses gave us a common understanding on how to do match CM activities with the usage of PLM systems. We apply many of the CMII/IPE principles as a 'single point of reflection' in our day-to-day consulting work with different type of customers in the discrete manufacturing industry.

CMII helped me and my organization understand why it is important to be more in control. CMII provides a set of principles which allows you to use what is necessary for your organization within the framework of Configuration Management. It has created awareness and changed the mindset of people who work with CM in my organization; reduced corrective action and increased benefits.

In our Configuration Management we were looking for a method that would help us to improve the efficency of our processes in order to accommodate changes faster and increase transparency for our colleagues. What we learned in the CMII Courses regarding configuration and process management exactly was what we were looking for. Now our documentation is more clear, concise and valid - corrective action costs were reduced down to a minimum amount.

We now recognise the CMII training as our professional Configuration Management training, and GfKM is now established as our preferred training provider. Change Control is the area that we have primarily focussed on to begin with, as we establish the process across the company. Over 80% of change is now approved using a fast track process, with significant time savings recognised. This has been a large shift culturally, but one we continue to push forward. As our CM presence grows from within the company we continue to identify opportunities to employ CMII as the solution, gaining recognition on the way at ever increasing levels. The CMII training and continued support has proven to be an excellent starting point for us to move forward.

Perfect organized trainings for teaching the CMII philosophy. The course material is well structured and easy to understand. Instructors are very competent and are giving students enough freedom for discussion and networking. Several different CMII training modules, each with specific priorities, make it possible to plan training and education activities individual per employee.
