DOE Review of the LCLS Project 7-9 February 2006 Quality Assurance Darren S. Marsh Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
Quality Assurance Activities Major Areas of Quality Assurance Quality Program Management and Support Planning Design Reviews Risk Management Procurement and Subcontractor Control Manufacturing, Inspection and Test Control Problem Identification and Corrective Action Assessment
Quality Assurance Program LCLS QA Program will be conducted in accordance with LCLS Quality Implementation Plan Lessons learned from other programs will be utilized The implementation relies upon the controlled application of plans, procedures, and requirements Objectives Design it to specifications the first time Build it correctly the first time Procure quality compliant components & services Test it completely the first time
LCLS Total Management System DOE Orders/Guides SLAC ISMS/EMS LCLS PMP, PEP, QIP, ES&HP LCLS Procedures/Plans Lessons Learned Best Practices Objectives/Goals Ensure requirements & expectations are met Provide confidence in achieved results Comply with applicable regulations & requirements
Integration of LCLS ISM and QA Core functions and principles of both programs substantially overlap, with no principles in opposition ISM and QA programs are together part of the total LCLS management system and processes for getting work done with safety, quality, and efficiency
ANL & LLNL Quality Assurance From LCLS QIP Quality standards at ANL/LLNL/SLAC are comparable
Technical Specifications
Technical Baseline – Design Definition Requirements Summary
Requirement Documents Tracking Requirement documents status reviewed at LCLS CCB Meetings Applicable requirements document updated based on CCB action or requirement change
Design Review Program Design reviews are essential to good engineering practice and will be used as a quality assurance metric to ensure the successful construction of the LCLS. ESD 1.1-324 establishes guidelines for design reviews conducted by the LCLS Subsystems. It describes the material to be covered, the documentation requirement and the process for closure of all action items. Reviews based upon the appropriate selection from the following reviews: System Concept Review (SCR) Preliminary Design Review (PDR) Final Design Review (FDR) Readiness Review (RR)
Technical Design Reviews
LCLS Risk Management Continuous risk management performed in accordance with the LCLS Risk Management Plan Project execution risk involves the ability to deliver the desired product meeting requirements, on time and within cost. To quantify risk, we look at the likelihood and consequence of an event Risk Management will include: What can go wrong? How likely is it to go wrong? What would be the consequences if something does go wrong? What can we do to prevent things from going wrong, or as least reduce the probability or severity of the consequences? How soon do we need to act? EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED SO THAT THAT UNEXPECTED BECOMES EXPECTED
LCLS Risk Registry Risk Registry (RR) monitors list of known risks to be managed until retired 56 total risks identified - 32 Technical - 18 Programmatic - 6 Retired Managed and updated monthly
Procurement & Subcontractor Control PMD 1.1-013 establishes processes to ensure that suppliers provide items and services that meet requirements Procured items and services must perform as specified and meet requirements Suppliers are evaluated and selected based on specified criteria Acceptance of procure items and services in accordance with specified methodology Advance Procurement Plan key for critical procurements
Manufacturing, Inspection and Test Control Manufacturing, Assembly and Installation Activities Work processes are planned and controlled Activities are performed in accordance with prescribed instructions, procedures and drawings Items are designed and changes controlled using sound engineering practices, analyses and configuration management Inspection and Test Items are inspected and tested to verify conformance to specified requirements
Problem Identification & Corrective Action LCLS QA Report identifies major systems and components that do not meet established requirements Conditions adverse to quality are identified, controlled and corrected to prevent recurrence, and reviewed for lessons learned QA Reports (2 total) from 2005 installation activities Sector 20-17 Waveguide Penetration Vacuum Leaks Injector RF Waveguide contamination
Management Assessment Management processes assessed to identify and correct problems that may hinder the project from achieving its objectives Assessments conducted to evaluate work performance and to promote improvement October 2005 Installation Feedback and Improvement Meeting
Summary Quality Assurance processes are in place to plan, perform, assess, and improve work Based on the development and maintenance of the integrated LCLS Total Management System Performance oriented Minimizes environment, safety, and health risks and impacts while maximizing reliability and performance Need to ensure QA Requirements are understood by all LCLS personnel
