Project Environment

Competition between Cornell University (NSF) and Stanford University (DOE) Started shortly after the cancellation of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) Started as a Presidential Initiative – President Clinton A parallel project was initiated in Japan at KEK. These projects can confirm each others data. The performance of these two projects is remarkably similar.

Project Definition
A Major System Acquisition involving the modification of the SLAC linac and the Positron-Electron Project (PEP) storage ring to develop a facility to study the particle physics of high luminosity electron-positron collisions at center-of-mass energies in the 10 GeV region

01/18/2002

Project Management Case Study

Project Goals
To create a facility for observing collisions of electrons and positrons with sufficient luminosity, and with particles of sufficiently different energies, to measure the extent to which charge-parity (CP) conservation is violated in the decay of B-mesons. The secondary purpose of this project is to support broad-based studies of the bottom and charm quarks, the tau lepton, and two-photon interactions — all processes that require large numbers of events — by providing higher luminosity than hitherto available. Although not within the scope of the PEP-II Project, a collateral program of synchrotron radiation physics would be possible.

Project Management Case Study

Implementation

To accomplish these goals, beams of electrons and positrons having unequal energies— roughly 3 GeV and 9 GeV— are collided so that products of the collision are moving in the laboratory rather than stationary as is the case when the two colliding beams have equal energies. To collide beams of different energies requires two storage rings, one for the 9-GeV beam (the high-energy ring) and one for the 3-GeV beam (the low-energy ring). Specialized beam optical systems were constructed at the interaction regions. To fill the storage rings with electrons and positrons, the SLAC linac was modified, beam transport lines were added in the linac enclosure, and the existing beam transport lines connecting the linac and PEP were modified.

Project Management Case Study

Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is used for defining work packages and developing and tracking the cost and schedule for the project. Each level 2 element has a System Manager, usually a physicist, who is responsible for the execution of the project plans for that element. This maps onto the organizational chart. The System Manager is assisted by a System Engineer who establishes the budget, controls costs, assures quality and safety, controls documentation, and keeps the system on schedule. The responsibility for each level 2 element lies with one of the collaborating institutions. Other institutions may be involved in the execution but a lead institution is defined for each element. To the extent possible, each level 2 element covers a specific piece of geography, which minimizes the complexity of the interface between elements.

01/18/2002

Project Management Case Study

Work Breakdown Structure
The WBS is used for cost reporting. The project reported costs and progress to the DOE monthly at level 2 of the WBS. The project management reviewed costs and progress monthly at level 3. The System Managers reviewed costs and progress monthly at the lower levels of the WBS. Changes to parameters of the machine are controlled by a Configuration Control Board chaired by the Project Director. The impact of any such change on the associated cost, schedule, and WBS dictionary was evaluated by the Configuration Control Board. The PEP-II Cost and Schedule Manager is responsible for maintaining the current cost, schedule and dictionary and the records of all changes. All changes must be approved by the Project Director prior to implementation.

Configuration Control Board
CCB Chairman: The PEP-II Project Director. The Chairman reviews and may approve changes that come before the CCB. Configuration Manager: The Chief Engineer. He manages change control activities, maintains and enforces control procedures, organizes the agenda for change control meetings, and ensures changes are properly evaluated and documented. Board Members: In addition to the CCB Chairman and the Configuration Manager, the Deputy Director, Deputy for Accelerator Physics, Cost and Schedule Manager, and the System Managers. All System Managers must review every change to assess impact and ensure that interfaces have been properly considered. The Cost and Schedule Manager must review every change to evaluate the impact to overall Project cost and schedule.

Contingency Management
At project initiation, contingency funds amounted to $33 Million (23%) with an EAC of $144 Million. Contingency was calculated on a system by system basis. Then the contingency was lumped together and controlled by the Project Director. System Managers did not have an assigned contingency. They had to request assignment of contingency funds from the project contingency through the Change Control Process.

Operational Readiness
The PEP-II facility is operated by the Operations Section of the SLAC Accelerator Department in accordance with the SLAC Guidelines for Operations. These documents define the roles, responsibilities and authorities of the physicists, engineers, and technicians involved in the operation of accelerator systems at SLAC, and specify guidelines governing maintenance, operator training, and responses to a variety of circumstances which may arise in accelerator operations. These were modified for the new PEP-II equipment (e.g. equipment specific lock and tag procedures)

Operational Readiness – 1st Stage
The PEP-II facility was commissioned in stages. In the first stage, the injector system will be brought into operation, generating and accelerating beams of electrons and positrons with characteristics suitable for eventual use in filling the PEP-II storage rings. This stage was within the existing safety envelope. It required a full review and approval by SLAC's internal safety review system, but a formal Accelerator Readiness Review (ARR) was not be required.

Operational Readiness – 2nd Stage
The second stage of the PEP-II commissioning involved transporting beams into the PEP tunnel and injecting into portions of the HER and LER rings. At this point, the PEP-II personnel protection system and beam containment systems was complete and certified, although the installation of accelerator components will not yet be complete in the Interaction Region and some parts of the PEP tunnel. Prior to initiating the second stage of commissioning, a formal Accelerator Readiness Review was conducted. This review was conducted by the project management and approved by the DOE Project Manager.

Project Management Case Study

Lessons Learned
Use a central PMCS. Use the reports from this system at reviews. The excuse that the PMCS data is wrong is unacceptable. Managers are expected to correct any errors. Avoid “odd man out scheduling”. Don’t allow systems to automatically slip their schedule because another system has slipped. Use a vertical organization. Responsibilities are clear. Matrix organizations muddy the water. A new division was created to build PEP-II.

Project Management Case Study

Lessons Learned
Use phased commissioning if possible. Bring on upstream systems as early as possible. This allows you to find problems sooner and closes out the costs. It creates clear milestones. Don’t procrastinate on hard decisions. For example, work may need to be moved from one collaborator. Use both internal and external reviews to assure the quality of the designs.

Lessons Learned
For Congress: Fund projects on the original funding profile The best way to control cost is to stay on schedule. This often means added cost in the short term will save money overall. Celebrate milestones and, particularly, the completion of the project. Pay attention to team building.
