CMstat’s next training program on “Data Management for Configuration Data Managers using the SAE GEIA-859 Standard" starts October 14.?The class will provide a deep introduction to the principles of GEIA-859 Data Management (DM) with emphasis on what the application of standards-based DM truly entails in practice for configuration managers who support a product, program, or enterprise supply chain. Students will gain an understanding of DM functions and how they work in concert to enable best-in-class management, identification, storage, protection, and access control of all types of data including configuration data, product meta data, CDRL/SDRL deliverables data, administrative data, contract data, compliance data, and performance analytics data. In addition to the essential elements of DM, attendees will explore: ?? The major changes and trends in DM in the past decade. ?? How data management standards like GEIA-859 and associated handbooks address lifecycle data management requirements. ?? How data governance objectives impact relationships and goals of DM processes and tools. ?? Strategies when the implementation of DM processes, tools, and governance tenets is dependent on requirements of a specific industry, global region, or company site.? ?? Methodologies and best practices for streamlining DM processes. ?? Common pitfalls in the implementation of DM and how to avoid them. ?? How to promote DM internally not as an expense but as a customer satisfaction and revenue generation opportunity. ?? What is required of DM to support Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
