3. PAGE 3 CM Fundamentals 2008 What is CM Equilibrium? In its simplest terms Configuration Management is what we do to assure ourselves and our regulators that we are doing everything we said we would do. The objective of Configuration Management is the conformance of the three elements represented by the CM Equilibrium Model

4. PAGE 4 CM Fundamentals 2008 CM Equilibrium Design Requirements technical requirements, derived from the design process, that are reflected in the final design. What Needs to be there Design characteristics and bounding parameters needed for the design to work Must be verified or monitored to confirm that design is valid Design Require- ments
