1. Configuration Management Benchmarking ConferenceTarrytown, NYSeptember 24-27, 2000 CM - 101 Instructor:Lloyd Hancock

2. Presentation Topics • CM Definition • Differences in CM Programs • Basic CM Model • CM Fundamentals • Benefits of CM

3. CM Definition An integrated management process to ensure that: • Design requirements for plant systems, structures, components, software and hardware are defined and documented, • Changes to Design requirements are identified, documented, controlled, evaluated and approved or disapproved,

4. CM Definition (cont.) • Approved design changes and status of implementation are recorded and reported throughout the life of the Plant, which results in the accurate implementation of design output information into the physical configuration of the Plant (i.e., the as-built status matches the design documents),

5. CM Definition (cont.) • Plant configuration documents specifying operations, maintenance, testing, installation, procurement, inspection and training requirements are updated and maintained consistent with the Plant design, and • The implementation of the program is evaluated for effectiveness.

6. Differences in CM Programs

15. Benefits of CM  More Reliable and Credible Design Information  Reduced O&M Costs  Better Input to Make Informed Decisions  Less Time Spent Researching, Verifying and Cross-Checking Data  Better Job Planning  Reduced Maintenance Time & Rework  Improved ALARA  Elimination of Duplicate Data Bases

16. Benefits of CM (cont.)  Reduction of Parts Inventory  Fewer Condition Reports, LER's, Audit & Inspection Findings  Reduced Number of Plant Trips  Enhanced Training  More Credible, Less Costly Life Extension Evaluations  Less Time Spent Responding to NRC Requests  Improved NRC Performance Indicator Ratings
