PDM CM and DM Process Optimization

Reviewing and Optimizing Existing or New Configuration Management and Product Data Management Processes

CMstat’s subject matter experts in Product Data Management (PDM), Configuration Management (CM), Data Management (DM), and Contract Deliverables Data Management (CDDM) are available to review your existing processes for assessing and benchmarking their current state and providing a roadmap to further mature your processes.

From these working sessions, improvements are suggested based on best practices and industry standards amplified by our experience with customers over a 30 year history. Buy-in from stakeholders is achieved from the beginning by eliciting their input and respecting the requirements and experience of each professional role involved in the process.

A few of the candidate processes we examine with customers include:

Product, Program, or Enterprise CM
Enterprise DM
Subsets of CM and DM:

Introduction of new designs and data
Change processing and disposition
Verification and audits – preparation and execution
Baseline identification and striking
Review and approval processes

Management and scheduling of Contractual and other deliverables

CMstat takes a hands-on pragmatic approach that allows our customers to gain efficiencies without major disruptions and unnecessary upgrades to their existing PDM processes related to configuration management and data management. This practicality allows for quicker adoption of new processes, which translates to faster return on investment.
