1 NOT MEASUREMENT SENSITIVE MIL-HDBK-61A(SE) 7 February 2001 SUPERSEDING MIL-HDBK-61 30 SEPTEMBER 1997 MILITARY HANDBOOK configuration management guidance AMSC N/A AREA CMAN DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This handbook is for guidance only. Do not cite this document as a requirement MIL-HDBK-61A This Page Intentionally Blank MIL-HDBK-61A Page i FOREWORD 1. This military handbook is approved for use by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics), Systems Engineering Office, and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply. 2. -This handbook provides guidance to DoD managers assigned the responsibility for configuration management on how to ensure the application of product and data configuration management to defense materiel items, in each phase of their life cycle.

2 Acquisition practices, including the manner in which CM is specified in a contract, and the process of monitoring contractor application are evolving as the result of two interacting transitions. 3. The first transition is the change in acquisition approach initiated in the acquisition reforms introduced in June 1994, which resulted in the following conceptual changes: a. A shift from the Government imposing requirements on a contractor by citing a military standard to the Government asking the contractor how he intends to apply his standard management practices to a given program and evaluating those practices against industry standards. b. Limiting the focus of Government configuration control to performance requirements rather than the details of the design solution in most instances. c. Basing Government oversight of contractor practice on adequacy of process rather than on inspection of product. 4.

3 The second significant transition influencing configuration management practice results from the rapid advance of information technology. Opportunities for improvements in methodology are constantly challenging the status quo. The predominant media for exchange of information has transitioned from a paper base to a digital one. Information technology concepts and standards for data access, data transfer, and data sharing are increasing the opportunities for Government and industry to productively integrate information from distributed sources. Both Government and industry are evolving infrastructures that will support information interoperability. This is leading toward the heretofore conceptual notion of a true virtual enterprise that will include all the configuration management information necessary for the life cycle support and maintenance of equipment and software. Each party in the enterprise, both Government activities and contractor, will be able to input and/or access product information via their own diversified automated information systems.

4 5. As a consequence of these transitions, DoD standardization for configuration management has evolved to the use of industry standards rather than military standards. MIL-STDs-973 and 2549 have been cancelled, effective 30 September 2000. DoD has adopted ANSI/EIA-649, National Consensus Standard for configuration management , as the guiding document providing the basic principles of configuration management . DoD has been instrumental in the on-going development of EIA-836, Consensus Standard for CM Data Exchange and Interoperability and will adopt it when it is published by the Electronics Industries Alliance as a web-based asset. This limited coordination revision to MIL-HDBK-61 is being issued to provide continuing up-to-date guidance for effective application of configuration management as the transition from MIL-STDs continues. 5.
