- Abstract
- A primary problem confronting configuration management is the difficulty of properly identifying configuration articles. This problem is much more severe for materials configuration management, because the materials normally do not possess a unique usage or identification. The method employed by NASA to establish configuraiton control of nonmetallic materials on the Apollo spacecraft are described.
