COMDTINST 4130.6
21 SEP 1995
headquarters units, commanding officers of Coast Guard units and officers in charge shall
recognize, acknowledge and implement Coast Guard CM policy and procedures as set forth in
this instruction.
3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. This instruction does not cancel or change any other Coast Guard
directives.
4. BACKGROUND. The Coast Guard has long recognized an increasing need for CM as a
necessary engineering management tool. In October 1988, the Systems Coordinating Council
designated Commandant (G-ELM) as the focal point for developing Coast Guard CM policy.
As a result, several Coast Guard instructions were promulgated to address particular aspects or
applications of CM. These are:
a
The ECONOP, Reference (a), is an important logistics document which establishes
principles for the future CG logistics system. It presents a conceptual view of the optimum
state of engineering logistics, and provides a framework for the development of future
business practices and information systems. The logistics system will be configuration
based, and address both the ILS Management and CM disciplines as necessary
improvements in asset management and visibility.
b Reference (b) defines the ILS elements and key logistics management concepts.
c
Reference (c) addresses CM procedures and requirements for major systems acquisition
projects.
d
Related Military Standards, such as reference (d), provides guidance and information on
CM.
e
In addition, Commandant (G-ELM) will monitor Department of Defense (DOD), Other
Government Agency (OGA) and industry CM developments in order to keep Coast Guard
CM policy consistent with current best practices.
5. SCOPE.
a
CM policy and procedures, as established by this instruction, are applicable to:
(1) All Coast Guard platforms, i.e., aircraft, vessels, small boats, shore facilities and
equipment, including computers and IRM systems designated for CM. Also included
are all subsystems, components, support and test equipment, and training equipment or
devices designated for CM.
(2) All Level I, IIIA and IV major acquisition projects subject to the requirements of
reference (a).
