本课程的目标是深入理解评审和配置审核过程中涉及的概念和原则。本课程面向已完成构型管理基础入门课程，且需要构型管理从业者更深入的知识而非肤浅的概述的个人。本文中描述的技术审查和产品审计实践基于政府要求。之所以强调这一点，是因为国防部（DOD）是商品和服务的主要客户，而且参考的规范和标准反映了多年来不断完善的良好商业实践。 对于为其他公司或公众生产物品的商业公司，其中许多审查和审计可能没有正式实施。然而，它们是系统工程过程中不可或缺的一部分。技术审查和审计的范围可以从客户和承包商的非常不规范的审查，到只涉及公司内部管理和产品开发人员的与产品和/或任务要素有关的非常不规范的技术审查。所有审查和审核都有一个共同目标，即评估不断发展的设计的技术充分性及其满足已知技术要求的能力。

The objective of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of the concepts and principles involved in the Review and Configuration Audit process. It is intended for an individual who has completed a basic introductory course in CM and who requires the deeper knowledge of a CM practitioner rather than a superficial overview.Technical review and product audit practices described in this text are based on Government requirements. This emphasis is made because the Department of Defense DOD) represents a major customer of goods and services and because the referenced specifications and standards reflect good business practices refined over many years of usage. For commercial companies producing items for other companies or the public, many of these reviews and audits may not be formally implemented. They are, however, an integral and essential part of the systems engineering process. Technical reviews and audits can range from very foxmal reviews by customer and contractors to very informai technical reviews concerned with product and/or task elements that involve only intemal company management and product development personnel. All reviews and audits share the common objective of evaluating the technical adequacy of the evolving design and its ability to meet known technical requirements.
