Hi Sunny,

Usually CM (Configuration Management) is used when lifecycle phases come into picture as in lifecycle phases each phase has its own configuration which has to be maintained.

During their life, products and projects go through various life-cycle phases such as engineering and design, sales, production, and maintenance. In each life-cycle phase, a product has different configurations. A configuration is made up of multiple different objects that describe the product in the relevant life-cycle phase. For example, these can be documents, materials, BOMs or other objects. The grouping of objects changes over the course of time and is different from life-cycle phase to life-cycle phase.

Configuration Managment can be very much used when we make use of ECR/ECM (engineering change request/engineering change order) linked with DMS.

Thank You,

Manoj
