Introduction: Goals

Define a suitable methodology for RA & QA Perform a Risk Analysis of design and operation

of the telescope, by a suitable methodology for the RA investigation

Define and diffuseDefine and diffuse the “Quality Culture” Obtained a common standardisation by an

integrated strategy (QA & RA, Health-Safety-Enviroment).


Introduction: Starting Points

1) Deep study of the overall Project to identify the WPs’ links

2) RA & QA activities in the framework of the KM3NeT Project:

to increase the knowledge about the submarine technologies and neutrinos detection (lesson learned from ANTARES, NEMO & NESTOR Projects)

to prove the reliability of the RA & QA methodology to identify the weakest points


Introduction: Methodology

PLAN:

•1STOrganizational Meeting

•Deep Study of the project

•Find what we need

•Find the right questions

•Find the less boring

and functional documents

layouts Do:

•Build up Questionnaires (QA - RA)

•Questionnaires testing

•Sending Questionnaires CHECK:

•Analyze Answers

• Send back Questionnaires and

organizational meeting with partners (if

necessary)

ACT:

• Technical Reports:

1. Writing operations

2. Control operations

3. Sending questionnaires

4. documents recording

Risk Assessment Activities

General RA objective: answer to the questions

What can go wrong? How probable is it ? What are the consequences?

Qualitative Analysis Quantitative Analysis Dependability Analysis (Fast Analysis)


Risk Assessment: Dependability Analysis

Unrepairable OM and DU, Maintenance 1 month per year. Different configurations

Unrepairable OM and DU, Maintenance 1 week per year. Different configurations


Risk Assessment: Achievements

Qualification of the methodology and models through many calculations performed on the concept designs

Application of the methodology and models also to the construction and operation life of KM3NeT

Needs to obtain the failure rates of the components: From database Government or commercial data Test

Maintenance is an issue that affects the availability of the detector and the MTTF of the components and systems of KM3NeT detector


Quality Assurance Activities

Development of the Quality Assurance System according to ISO-9000 familyISO-9000 family

- Quality Assurance ManualQuality Assurance Manual: plan and organization of the activities of KM3NeT in all its phases to insure that the level of quality defined is achieved

- Definition of the Quality plansQuality plans and general procedures for KM3NeT to be developed and update, once the project and its phases reach a well defined or modified status

- Definition of the Quality management system

- Definition of the Quality management document

- Definition of a Database for the qualification, construction and operation of KM3NeT

Quality Assurance: Database

Database

For Traceability of the components and systems of KM3Net qualification, construction and operation life of KM3NeT

For document management During the Design study a prototype function was

developed: Test report record


Quality Assurance: Achievements

Development of QA according to ISO 9001

To be considering the starting point to implement the KM3NeT Quality StandardKM3NeT Quality Standard through the experience gained by the qualification and optimization processes

To be diffuse in KM3NeT collaboration through training on ISO 9000 and KM3NeT QA System.

Development of the database prototype

its future implementation is already planned

Needs to define a qualification process of components systems and to design testes


Conclusions

RA procedures and models have been developed and qualified

for the qualification, optimization, construction and operation of KM3NeT

QA System has been developed

it is needed to be updated and implementedupdated and implemented to become the KM3NeT QA Standard

It is needed to diffuse it by specific trainingspecific training

A prototype database was realized
