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

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,

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),

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.

Differences in CM Programs Primary Purpose Secondary Issues Governing Requirements Peripheral Organizations NASA, DoD, DoE Making sure the right parts are installed to support schedules Change control, status accounting, rigid compliance NASA, Mil Specs, CM Standard EIA Commercial Industry Support , assembly, manufacturing, and production activities Change control, status accounting ISO 9000, ISO 10007, OSHA 9410 ACDM, NIRMA Software CM Manage data elements (code) throughout software life cycle Change/version control, V&V activities IEEE Standards, NIRMA Guidelines ACDM, NUSMG Hardware CM Managing automation functions and devices Managing URLs, PC configurations ANSI and IEEE Standards ACDM Nuclear Facilities Supporting long-term facility operation and maintenance activities. Maintain synchronization between requirements – physical plant – configuration documents Change control, knowing & maintaining design basis, rigid compliance, parts obsolescence 10CFR, NUREGs, Reg. Guides, etc. ANSI/NIRMA CM 1.0-2000 IAEA CM Guidelines CMBG, INPO, NEI, NIRMA, IAEA

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

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
