Engineering deep-dive into configuration management (CM) engineering as the 34th engineering axis and 7th process meta-axis. Describes the systematic discipline that answers the question "what exactly is installed in this specific physical and digital product at this specific moment, how do we know, how can we change it under control, and how can we prove it after the fact?" Covers: ISO 10007:2017 *Quality management — Guidelines for configuration management* (non-prescriptive guidance above all other CM standards, aligned with ISO 9001:2015); IEEE 828-2012 *Standard for Configuration Management in Systems and Software Engineering* (minimum requirements for CM processes, CM Plan structure, life-cycle integration); SAE EIA-649C:2019 *Configuration Management Standard* (5 CM functions + 37 principles, national consensus standard); SAE EIA-649-1A:2020 *Configuration Management Requirements for Defense Contracts*; DO-178C airborne software SCM (Section 7 + Table A-8 with 6 SCM objectives applicable to software levels A/B/C/D); ISO 26262-8:2018 automotive functional-safety supporting processes (clause 7 configuration management + clause 8 change management + clause 9 verification + clause 10 documentation); ITIL 4 *Service Configuration Management* practice + CMDB (Configuration Management Database) + CMS (Configuration Management System); CMMI v2.0 *Configuration Management* practice area (2 capability levels); NIST SP 800-128 *Guide for Security-Focused Configuration Management of Information Systems* (SecCM); MIL-STD-973 (cancelled 2000) + MIL-STD-3046 (interim, US Army); ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 vocabulary; CM principal artifacts (CMP / configuration item / configuration baseline / change request / CCB / SCAR / FCA / PCA); CM concepts (identification / change control / status accounting / verification + audit / build management / release management); e-scooter-specific concerns (firmware versioning of BMS + ESC + display controller + companion app + OTA-update integrity; BOM revisions + part interchangeability matrix; serial number / lot number → BOM revision lookup; recall management workflow per NHTSA + EU Safety Gate + UK PSD; TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) lifecycle; software bill of materials SBOM per NTIA + EO 14028 + EU CRA Annex I § 1.2.f).
