Potential students often ask how CMII compares to other CM certification programs. This white paper provides a comparison and an insight that would otherwise be difficult to sift out of the various web sites.

The subject curve provides a correlation of varying levels of data integrity with employee effectiveness. This relationship is shown to become exponential when data sets are used in-series. This paper describes the research and data from which this curve was derived.

Certication to ISO 9001 does not, in itself, enable an organization to become lean and agile. This white paper describes the reasons and how CMII provides the missing elements and required infrastructure.

Aerospace firms had spent over 40 years evolving their development and manufacturing processes before MRP came along. This white paper describes key areas in which MRP has resulted in a major overhaul of pre-MRP practices.

This white paper is for those using the CMII model to achieve enterprise-wide configuration management (eCM) and integrated process excellence (IPE). Its purpose is to address and resolve the issue of process training versus tool training. Although users need both, some believe that the process is built into the tool, and tool training is all the user needs. The CMII/IPE model is ideal for demonstrating why this belief is not true. The CMII/IPE model is comprised of 19 core business processes and 225 operating standards. Of the 225, only 100 can benefit from enabling software tools. Of the 100 tool requirements, 40 are mandatory. All 40 reside in the eCM domain.
