2. CMBG Mission
“To provide a forum for the exchange of information which is useful to practitioners of nuclear facility configuration management and to act as the CM Community of Practice for the nuclear industry.

3. Community of Practice
A Community of Practice (CoP) is an industry peer group of experts in a process or sub-process defined in NEI’s Standard Nuclear Performance Model. The group serves as the owner of that particular process or sub-process, managing the solution of issues for the industry in that area. NEI assesses CoP development based on six attributes: formation of a leadership team, a charter, cost definitions, process descriptions, definitions of performance indicators and performance improvement projects.

7. Project Motivation
CMBG 2001 Participants wanted focus on ANSI/NIRMA CM concepts and terminology
ANSI standard addresses “Objectives” and program elements
Worked with NEI on SNPM
Now working with INPO on AP-929
