Configuration management is a discipline applying technical and administrative direction and surveillance to: identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item, control changes to those characteristics, and record and report change processing and implementation status. The application of this knowledge is required by people who are not configuration management specialists but who need the knowledge to inform their decision making. The application of configuration management knowledge is specific to a variety of component processes in material logistics activities. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
