Schedule

Currently we are in the Development Phase of the project. The Development Phase is focused on improving or developing processes and procedures into three areas: CMS Conformance University-wide, Environmental Compliance Programs, Pilot operating units.

Overall Schedule and CMS Standing

The CMS development and implementation is being conducted in phases as shown to the left.

Phase 1, Planning, was completed in November 2004. The CMS Manager and the CMS Steering Team played critical roles in building a strong foundation for the CMS as it advances into the Development Phase. In the fall of 2004, the Steering Team and Working Groups identified the four CMS Pilots which will be major players in the Development Phase. Additionally, the CMS Development Plan (pdf) was finalized.

During the Planning Phase, attention was focused on acquiring support from Senior Administration. In December of 2004, Mr. Stephen Campbell (Associate Vice President, Division of Facilities Services) and Mr. Richard McDaniel (Associate Vice President, Division of Campus & Business Services) signed an endorsement of the CMS Development Plan.

A brief "setting the stage" period took place from December to May 2005 to incorporate Health and Safety into the CMS. During this period, the CMS Elements were updated and CMS Development Plan v.2 was approved.

Phase II, Development, began in June 2005 with the kick-off of the new Steering Team. Attempting to achieve broader representation, the Steering Team identified new members from Health and Safety, the Office of Human Resources, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. The Steering Team is currently develop processes and tools which are being tested in the Pilots.
