Specify Configuration is the CM interrelated process that is the basis from which, the configuration of products is defined and verified, products and records are labelled, and accountability is maintained.

Specify Configuration, (Configuration Identification), is a set of processes, which occur throughout the product life cycle and is the basis of all subsequent configuration management of a product and its constituent elements.

Specify Configuration includes:

   ·selecting Configuration Items (CIs) (if required) at appropriate levels of the product structure to facilitate the recording, management and support of the items and their information;

   ·determining the types of product definition information required for each CI to define its performance, functional and physical attributes, and internal and external interfaces. Product definition information provides the basis to develop and procure products, fabricate and assemble items, inspect and test items, and maintain systems;

   ·determining the configuration management authority for each configuration record;

   ·issuing identifiers for the CIs, all lower level items and the product configuration information;

   ·assigning serial and lot numbers as necessary;

   ·maintaining the configuration identification of CIs to facilitate logistic support of products in service;

   ·releasing product configuration information;

   ·establishing configuration baselines for the configuration management of CIs.

   Specify Configuration begins during the concept stage of the product life cycle with the definition of the product and its product definition information. As the product evolves through its life cycle, configuration identification activities will support the configuration management interrelated processes of configuration change management, configuration status accounting and configuration audit and verification.
