1. Critical Issues
(Wayne)
The critical issues list will be used for week-to-week risk
management by the SIT. Three categories of issues are defined:
-
Requires weekly SIT attention until there is a
mitigation plan
-
Mitigation plan is in place, actions to resolve the
issue are under way.
-
Issue has been resolved, listed for historical
reference.
Among the Category 1
issues, the following were highlighted:
-
Gaps and anomalies in the composite materials properties
data. Urgency of this issue has been elevated by recent L. Myatt analysis
calling into question previous test results. ACTION: Brad to
develop the SOW for needed testing, taking into account Myatt’s analysis.
-
A comprehensive list of modular coil and vacuum vessel
final design deliverables does not yet exist. Without that we cannot assess
the validity of our schedule or measure progress reliably. ACTION: Brad,
with WBS 12 and 14 managers, develop comprehensive list of deliverables and
schedule due dates.
-
System analysis tasks. Demands for system analyses
have grown rapidly, but task definitions, priorities, schedules, and resource
requirements for accomplishing them have not been identified. ACTION: Wayne
develop a plan.
-
Metrology. There is a concern that we need more
comprehensive strategic planning to identify and meet metrology requirements.
RESPONSIBILITY: Wayne.
Among the Category 2 issues, the following was
highlighted:
2. CD-2
preparations
New developments:
-
DOE has now provided baseline funding profile guidance:
flat in 05, ramping up in 06. TEC=$86.3M, CD-4 in May, 2008.
-
ESAAB will be scheduled for the week of Feb. 2, due to
conflicts the preceding week.
-
The
PDR--->CD2 ECP (ECP-004) is not needed for the
CD-2 ESAAB; it can be approved afterward. Changes to be incorporated in
ECP-004 are documented in minutes of 1/5/04 SIT meeting.
-
A second ECP
(ECP-xxx) will be needed soon after ECP-004
to bring the baseline fully up to date, picking up any changes not
incorporated in ECP-004. (For examples, changes resulting from detailed FY04
WAF planning and technical progress.)
A revised CD-2 preparation schedule was developed
(attached). Key dates:
-
Jan. 12- GRD approved. Responsibility: Wayne.
-
Jan. 12- Draft ECP-004 due.
-
Jan. 20- Change Control Board. (Approve revised PEP and,
if possible, ECP-004) ACTION: Bob to arrange.
-
Jan. 23- Submit ESAAB materials to Greg, including PEP,
final input to his ESAAB presentation, and any revisions to the
disposition plans that might be required.
-
Jan. 29- ECP-004 ready to submit to DOE. Draft
ECP-xxx due.
-
week of Feb. 3- CD-2 ESAAB meeting. (Exact
date being determined by OFES)
A
concern was raised about the plan to submit an ECP (ECP-004) which will include
only a subset of the changes that the project is aware of at the time of
submission. This is being done to limit the scope of ECP-004 to changes
resulting from review recommendations, DOE-directed changes in scope and CD-4
definition, and DOE funding profile changes which have been agreed to with OFES.
The concern is that the project could be faulted for omitting other changes that
have come to light in the normal course of execution since the PDR baseline was
established. This concern is being addressed by the plan to produce a second ECP
(ECP-xxx) to capture all remaining changes needed to bring the baseline fully up
to date in a timely fashion. I have discussed the concern that was raised and
our plan with Greg Pitonak, who concurs in our planned course of action.
3. Next SIT Meeting: Monday, January 19, 2004 at
11:00 a.m. Wayne to issue announcement and chair the
meeting.
