– Responsibilities for fabrication project are clearly defined.

• Project has high priority, strong management support at PPPL and ORNL.

• DOE / Contractor “Integrated Project Team” is working well.

– Members from DOE-PAO, DOE-OFES, PPPL, ORNL.

– Has met at least monthly since 2000.

– Planned PVR and this review. Prepared DOE acquisition documents.

• Project has high visibility throughout PPPL organization.

Safety and NCSX

• We are responsible for building and operating NCSX safely.

• We will take advantage of PPPL’s approved (and proven) systems for doing work safely, e.g.

– Requirements

– Change control

– Design reviews (P-010)

– Work planning procedures. (ENG-032).

– Analysis of job hazards.

– Training (TR-001, -003, -005, -006)

– Involvement of E.S. & H. professionals.

We will uphold and improve on PPPL’s positive safety culture.

• We will make the facility safe to operate– Assessment of hazards and mitigation via design. (P-039)

– Documented safety analysis prior to operations.

– ES&H reviews of design and planned operations and modifications.

NEPA and NCSX

• Preliminary Hazards Analysis submitted.

• Expect to prepare Environmental Assessment before CD-2.

• Expect no significant environmental impact.

Quality Assurance and Control

• PPPL QA organization supports NCSX project, and has assigned a QA

engineer to assist the project in meeting QA/QC objectives.

• Will prepare an NCSX QA Plan, implementing PPPL and ORNL QA

plans, policies, and procedures, and DOE Orders.

• Will participate in reviews, help develop specifications.

• Will support procurement activities, e.g. inspections.

• Will conduct audits of project and associated plans and procedures.

Engineering Management

• Project Engineering Manager is responsible for designing and building NCSX to meet requirements, on schedule, and within budget.

• System Engineering responsibilities include…

– Requirements documentation and flow-down.

– Maintaining the technical baseline.

– Tracking of critical issues and risks.

– Design reviews and follow-up.

– Configuration management and change control processes.

– Interface control and design integration.

– Data management.

– Operation and maintenance procedures.

• WBS Managers are responsible for their systems.

– They report to Project Engineering Manager.

• Engineering organization will be augmented to incorporate System Engineering and Construction Management positions prior to Title I.

Configuration Mgt. (II): Control Levels

• Technical changes:

– Mission or technical objectives: DOE-OFES

– General Requirements Document: DOE Project manager (PAO)

– Other technical changes: Project Manager / CCB

• Cost changes:

– Project cost objective: DOE-OFES

– Changes requiring use of contingency: DOE Project manager (PAO)

– Other: Project Manager / CCB

• Schedule changes:

– Level 0 and 1 Milestones: DOE-OFES

– Level 2 Milestones: DOE Project manager (PAO)

– Other: Project Manager / CCB

• Cost / schedule performance baseline established after prelim. design.

GHN 20020523- 11

Contingency Management

• Initial amount established based on assessment of cost, schedule, and technical risk factors at the subsystem level.

• Use of contingency (I.e., to cover approved changes in workscope or estimates) is via change control process.

• All changes involving use of contingency will be approved by DOE Project Manager (PAO).

GHN 20020523- 12

Cost and Schedule Control

• Work Planning and Authorization– Work Authorization Form (WAF) documents scope, schedule, cost, resource

requirements, responsible individual.

– All work and expenditure of project funds is authorized by project manager using WAFs.

• Primary control mechanism: constant communication.– Frequent meetings of System Integration Team to identify and solve

problems, manage risk, keep everyone “on the same page”.

– Monthly WAF status meetings with WBS managers to plan work, monitor progress, update schedules & estimates of remaining work, flag variances and issues.

• Will use PPPL’s Project Control System as a management tool. – Maintain cost and schedule baseline using Primavera software.

– Aid in planning, authorizing, and tracking work.

– Use to measure and report cost and schedule performance.

Funds Management

• PPPL and ORNL (and other Labs) are funded directly by DOE.

– Division of funds handled via FWP process and financial plan requests.

– Industry and universities are funded as subcontractors to PPPL or ORNL.

• Management reserves

– Budgeted by project manager at the beginning of each year in case needed to solve problems.

– Can be used to resolve approved changes requiring use of contingency arising from problems in current year’s authorized work scope, or

– Can be used to authorize in-scope work scheduled for later.

– Will in general be fully disbursed by mid-year.

– Will be reported regularly to DOE, including semi-annual reviews.

Reporting

• DOE cost and schedule reviews will be held semi-annually.

– Project performance relative to baseline.

– Changes to baseline.

– Risks and contingency.

– Management reserve.

– Plans.

• Written reports will be submitted quarterly.
