CMII Tutorial

given by Steve Easterbrook, ICM Vice-PresidentSummary of the CMII Certification Course

42 Participants with up to 15 (!) years of experience in CM

CMII Timeline:1977-1985: Development of basic CMII principles asBest Practice

1986: Start Training and Certification Program

1986-today: Continuous Improvement

CMII provides a business process infrastructure thatenables all activities to perform their tasks reliably andefficiently

CMII Tutorial: A requirement is not a requirementunless it's documented, validated and released

CMII Tutorial: Corrective Actions

Corrective Action:extra effort tocorrect something, which shouldnot have happened in the 1st place

primary cause: inadequaterequirements and/or conformance

to specification

most organizations spent 40-60%of their resources on interventions

Intervention Resources are spenton Corrective Actions

reduce corrective actions: clear,concise, valid requirements

CM: accommodate change andstay clear concise and valid

CMII: Ingredients 2 Closed Loop Change Process

Rules of the ultimate solution:

(1) Documents must be validatedprior to release.

(2) Documents must be releasedprior to use.

(3) Any detected deficiencies mustbe corrected prior to reuse

(4) Results must conform to require-ments in every case

Feedback about the executionof the change must reach theinitiator

applies to process themselves (e.g. CM) !

CMII: Not all changes require full treatment!

75% - 85% of changes can be handled in a Fast-Track Process

NASA: CM Process Improvement

Starting situation:

well defined CM process in place since years

strong CM group

Improvementsgap analysis by ICM in September 2004 (3 days)

implementation of recommendations

CM II briefing sessions with all departments

follow-up assessment August 2006

NASA: ICM findings/recommendations

fragmented baseline managementimplement closed-loop change management and coupleto baseline

find automated tool:

workflow, online change creation, distribution,disposition, task identification, scheduling & tracking

formal CMII training for ISSP CM group

CMII overview for ISSP personnel

avoid redline documents and drawings

define metric reporting for management

contractors to conform to NASA CM process

continuously improve CM process (committee)

The European XFEL


19/3119




NASA: implementing CM improvements

within ~2 years

closed-loop in updated change request process withnew/updated forms

CMII certification and CMII briefings

updated metrics => regular meetings with seniormanagers

CMII also for new space vehicle !!

The European XFEL


20/3120




NASA: Next Steps

integrate software tools

improve baseline databases

continuously improve process

reduce amount of signatures

Astrium: ESA CM Standards ECSS

Very similar to CMII standards

configuration baseline for approved status

baseline: all documentation that describe thecharacteristics of the product

evolution only by formal change procedure involving alldisciplines

change disposition via Change Control Board (CCB)

Change Boards on all levels:

ESA EADSEADS sub-contractor

sub-contractor vendor

Astrium: ECSS on the way to CMII

bring all CM related activities under one umbrella

currently ECSS is 85% CMII

standardized baselines, adapt CMII processes,harmonize forms, templates, etc for all spacecompanies

Embraer: Advices

get upper management to buy-in (ICM advice)

be visible (ICM advice)

implement CMII principles step-by-step

understand culture in your organization and identify whatis necessary to change that

think process first, tools should follow!!
