Configuration Management Plan

A configuration management plan should answer the "what's" of your product's configuration strategy.

A company's configuration management plan, whether it's designed for manufacturing projects or software validation must answer the "what's" of your configuration strategy. These might include "What design elements need to be verified?" "What parts need to be controlled?" "What type of support or customer service will be provided and how can it be designed to support configuration?" "What technology will support communication across departments and global locations?" Etc.

An Effective Configuration Management Plan

An effective configuration management plan spells out the need for detailed engineering change control measures, personnel assignments and available resources. Within the resources section the author(s) of a configuration management plan is also likely to describe the tools that a company has (or needs to have) at its disposal for effective configuration management. These tools may include BOM, supplier management, process controls (including change controls, etc.) and document management software solutions. MasterControl provides all of these solutions via one web-based platform.
