Configuration Management

PLL Logistics delivers CM throughout the configuration items (CI) life cycle and the degree of CM applied depends of the mission essentiality of the CI.  PLL Logistics performs the amount of CM necessary during the early engineering design and development phases to ensure configuration control through to the final design.  Delivering CM includes establishing configuration baselines for ships, systems, and equipment including computer software and firmware.  PLL Logistics will manage all technical documentation including drawings and specifications for primary baseline control.  Provisions will be made to establish Life Cycle Managers (LCMs) to ensure applicable configuration documentation will be developed or maintained throughout the life cycle of all Cis.  The LCM will also establish configuration control boards (CCBs) to review and act on all proposed configuration changes.  PLL Logistics will communicate to all the necessary Ship’s Program managers and Configuration Data Managers (CDMs) for the accuracy of all ship’s configuration and logistics information (SCLSI).  PLL Logistics will coordinate with the appropriate ship class CDMs to submit CM work files through the Configuration Data Manager’s Database-Open Architecture (CDMD-OA).
