The CMstat Configuration Management System efficiently organizes the maze of disparate product data and handles the issue of documentation control in a central repository we call the Database of Authority®. The Database of Authority provides extensive search capability to ensure product information such as project tracking, contract administration, issue tracking, quality control and other data is accessible to all internal departments and supply chain partners from a single information point.

CMstat answers the challenge of managing the proliferation of product variety and frequent technical change to help you mitigate rising product costs for both producers and consumers. CMstat makes relevant information easier to locate and consistently distributed, so users are not blind-sided by unexpected and unbudgeted change, causing the entire enterprise to suffer.

CMstat eliminates the problem of product data that is  located in multiple locationsby providing a link between the data and documentation, and a rules base ensuring data integrity. With CMstat drawings and documents are stored on a protected file server so it isn’t subject to unauthorized changes and use.

Pre-programmed inter-relationships and strict enforcement of configuration management rules and practices assure you, your suppliers and, most importantly, your customers that your products are delivered on time, on budget and in contract compliance with regard to standards and requirements.

What can CMstat do for you?

Security -

First and foremost, your product data, documents and drawings are protected.

• Product metadata and associated drawings and documents are secure from costly unauthorized changes, loss or oversight.
• The application rules base assures the integrity of assembly data and that the data cross-reference relationships are maintained.
• CMstat is a "projectized" database giving additional levels of security for your metadata to allow supply chain partners to work together while maintaining data security between individual projects.
• CMstat employs a second layer of security for the Electronic Distributed Vault System which assures your document and drawings are safe from unauthorized access.

Control -

• CMstat is a true off-the-shelf solution containing hundreds of pre-programmed configuration management rules and countless pre-programmed data relationships to ensure data quality.
• Identification, status accounting, impact assessment, traceability and audit form the foundation of configuration management and the basis of the CMstat system.
• Easily create, manage and associate Bills of Material, Product Baselines, As-Designed, As-Built, and As-Maintained.
• The Configuration Item Module refines the task of managing complex products allowing you identify and track unique items; Life Limited Parts, High Dollar Value, HazMats, etc. Product structures may be broken down by Configuration Item for ease of design, manufacturing and maintenance.
• Easily associate objects such Documents, Item/Parts, Contracts, Projects, and Requirements with the necessary many-to-many, one-to-many, many-to-one relationship support.
• CMstat provides you maximum control and flexibility for managing contract administration, products and suppliers.

Visibility -

CMstat gives users access to the right information at any time.

• A Central Information Point for secure online access to “projectized” data and documents.
• Search capability for every object type, e.g. Parts, Documents, As-Builts, etc. All objects share common multi-level search criteria reducing countless hours of searching and rework.
• Browser access to metadata, documents and drawings for review and redlining, as well as online CCBs.
• Access part information including Part Change History, Alternate/Substitute Parts, Superseded Parts, Manufacturer and Supplier Part Numbers, Authorized Suppliers, as well as cross-referenced documentation and configuration item identification.
• Identify "where-used" information for parts and assemblies. Graphical views show single- and multi-level “used-on” with Products, Projects and Quantity information.
• Document version control automatically allows you to receive the latest document revision information to avoid erroneous impact assessment and needless rework. All previous revisions and change history are also immediately available for review.
• View, print and export IPL, Configuration Item Structure, As-Configured and Used-On information in expandable tree or graphical formats.

Collaboration -

Realize immediate cost reductions by reducing rework, re-engineering, search and review time.

CMstat is a truly collaborative system, enabling groups working on parallel tasks or in different locations to simultaneously access, review and redline that latest product information.

• Schedule an online CCB from within CMstat.
• Bring geographically disparate partners, vendors, customers together in our collaborative workspace.
• Easily implement document version control by posting multiple drawings and documents for review, annotation, mark-up and comparisons.
• All meeting members can participate in the annotation/redline process.
• Document tiling for comparison. Tile vertically or horizontally for easy compare.
• Target individual drawing layers for discussion. Remove CAD drawing layers as necessary for review.
• Supports over 200 2D/3D file formats including major CAD files, e.g. Pro-E, Catia, AutoCad, etc.
• The entire CCB review meeting including comments and mark-ups is recorded and may be saved to the CMstat vault against the Change Object for future use.
• Add, delete and save to vault all finalized redlined changes and comments. Permissions may be passed to participants for further interaction.
