Abstract

This course builds upon the principles developed in Courses I, II and III and focuses on the closed-loop and fast-track change process.

The first section provides a step-by-step description of the change analysis phase and the activities coordinated by Change Specialist I. It describes how technical reviews are performed and how the Change Review Board makes business decisions.

The second section describes the process for implementing approved changes and the activities coordinated by Change Specialists II and III. It describes how the Change Implementation Board extends the item and document impact matrix into a detailed change implementation plan.

The third section shows how to apply project management and capacity planning principles to the change implementation process.

The fourth section describes how CMII is applicable to Supply Chain Management. It also describes how CMII can be standardized across the business enterprise and how the CM process can be standardized across industries.
