  1. LCLS Production Undulator Schedule 28 June 2004 Marion M. White

  2. In a project, we live or die by the schedule. • After we’re “baselined” it is our plan for what we will accomplish and when, and it is the government’s plan for funding us. • If we’re late, the cost goes up. We pay more for people to work longer than planned, plus the value of the money gets escalated. • Being late means maybe having to give up or postpone some things. DOE probably can’t find more money. They have a schedule too. • Too late and the project may be cancelled. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  3. To Succeed: Plan Well. Stick to the Plan. • The requirements must be clearly defined. • The responsibilities and interfaces must be clearly defined. • Use talented and experienced designers. • Use experienced reviewers. • There’s no glory in reinventing the wheel, so use what we can from other people and projects. There are enough challenges as it is without solving old problems over again. • Do not make cosmetic changes late in the game. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  4. The Exception • The exception is if we are building something that we know won’t work. • It’s better to be a little late on something that works than on time with something that doesn’t. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  5. We’re here to make sure we all know and agree on what we’re doing…. • The prototype was constructed and tested, and many of the drawings are close to final. • At this stage, changes will cost time and money, proportional to the degree of the modifications. • If the requirements have changed significantly since we began, or if they were misunderstood and the present system won’t work, changes must be made. • If there is a disagreement based on personal preference and both methods will work, consider whether it is important enough to potentially result in loss of something else down the road. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  6. Else we go in circles LCLS Requirements Meeting

  7. Acquisition Strategy • The undulators were designed and prototyped by APS, based on the combined experience of many people over many years. This decreased the technical and schedule risk to LCLS. • Our design and assembly procedures will be furnished to the assembly vendors; any changes by the vendors will require our approval. • As a direct result of the US funding system, we will procure some critical long-lead parts early and furnish them to the assembly vendors. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  8. Long Lead Procurements • Long lead procurements are those undulator components that are expected to have long delivery times. • Orders are to be placed as soon as there is money next FY in order to maintain the schedule. We assume that there will be money by November 1st 2004. • Large and/or complex procurements take months to prepare, and require significant effort from procurement and project staff. • High-value procurements need DOE signoff. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  9. Schedule from 50,000 feet • UN30_28430 Undulator System Requirements Frozen 03/31/04 (not?) • UN30_28420 Strongback Motion Spec 04/01/04 (not?) • UN30_FINIM Finish Undulator Magnet Systems 07/24/07 • UN30_28440 All Undulator Magnets Ready for Installation 08/06/07 LCLS Requirements Meeting

  10. Long Lead Procurement Issues • Affecting Titanium Strongbacks: • Change in gap size and which direction the gap faces • Change in # of survey monuments and methodology • Change in support and alignment philosophy • Are PZTs needed? • Relationship between quads, BPM, and undulator needs to be settled for BBA. • Magnet Blocks • No pending changes are known. • Magnet Poles • Internal review was held – change to wingless pole design, canted spacers is being implemented.

  14. And then… • After the long lead items are awarded, there is a lag time, during which the vendors procure their materials, make the objects, and secondary vendors are machining parts. • Then it’s time to award the undulator assembly work. The schedule is very tight on that, and we really cannot afford to delay without putting the schedule at risk. LCLS Requirements Meeting

  15. Decisions • In these 2 days, we need to make decisions about the critical issues so we can proceed. • We can leave room for options, but it must be clear to us what options are likely. Flexibility is expensive. • In a Project, Every Day Counts! LCLS Requirements Meeting
