Refresher for CM2 Graduates

This course explores the successful implementation of the IpX CM2 Baseline and Closed-Loop change process, which is critical for achieving end-to-end configuration traceability required by model-based design and enterprise digitalization. Participants will learn how elevating configuration management beyond engineering unlocks the true benefits of connected systems, improving the ability to manage change while keeping requirements clear, concise, and valid. The course covers the Digital Thread, which enables seamless data communication across an asset's lifecycle—spanning Concept, Design, Production, Service, and Decommissioning—through a complete digital data structure and closed-loop process. It also introduces the CM2 Model, which ensures that accurate information reaches the right people at the right time for effective decision-making. Additionally, the course delves into the Digital Twin, which uses powerful datasets to optimize operational performance and enhance business processes by providing insights into past and present operations and predicting future outcomes.

Implementing the IpX CM2 Baseline and Closed-Loop change process is essential for achieving end-to-end configuration traceability in model-based design and digital enterprises. The Digital Thread and Digital Twin concepts enhance data communication and operational performance throughout a product's lifecycle, ensuring accurate and timely information for decision-making. This course serves as a refresher for those who have previously completed CM2 courseware and can rekindle or catalyze improvement initiatives.
