04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Operator Safety Procedures Operators are trained to carry out certain well-defined tasks, following formally controlled procedures. Examples: Interlock Checklists Search Procedures Entry and Exit Procedures Safety Inspection Checklists Safety procedures: undergo a formal review and approval process. are updated as conditions change. are available on the AD Documentation web site, although the signed originals are preserved in paper form. Completed checklists and log books are archived.

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Maintenance Management  Problems that interrupt the scheduled program trigger immediate repairs to restore operations.  24-hour on-site staff to repair: Mechanical utilities Power supplies Modulators Cryogenics  On-call staff for: Electrical power Magnets and other mechanical systems RF systems Vacuum systems OHP  Extensive call-in lists identify first responders, alternates, and experts for all systems.

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Opportunistic Maintenance  Opportunistic Approach Whenever possible, identified maintenance, repair, and installation jobs are pre- planned, but deferred until an opportunity arises. The accelerator systems are not turned off for maintenance on a routine, scheduled basis.  Coordination Daily 8:15am meeting. Coordinated by Operations Maintenance Office. Area Managers are advocates for their areas.  Standby Maintenance List (SML) Jobs that are planned and can be launched on short notice. Provides options for EOIC to take advantage of unscheduled interruptions.  Repair Opportunity Day (ROD) Launched only when required by a driving event. Carefully planned, and typically involve 100 or more jobs.  ARTEMIS Electronic Database

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review ARTEMIS  ARTEMIS (Accelerator Remedy Trouble Entry and Maintenance Information System) is an Oracle database with a Remedy interface, accessible over the internet by everyone involved with SLAC accelerator maintenance.  Operators report problems as they occur by making entries in ARTEMIS.  Repair work is launched immediately if the problem is inhibiting the scheduled accelerator program.  New ARTEMIS entries are reviewed at the daily maintenance meeting. Open questions are addressed and jobs are assigned.  Jobs may be assigned to the Standby Maintenance List (SML), or to the Repair Opportunity Day (ROD) list, or marked for the next long down time.  Jobs are tracked using ARTEMIS until they are finally closed.

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Standby Maintenance List

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Repair Opportunity Days  A ROD list of pending repair jobs is derived from the ARTEMIS database and maintained by the Operations Department. Installation and PM jobs are added as needed.  All ROD jobs are reviewed in the daily maintenance meetings.  The ROD list can be viewed over the internet.  When a “driving event” occurs, a detailed plan can be assembled and launched quickly, using the ROD list.  A typical ROD day includes about 100 distinct jobs.

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Long Down Time Planning  Long Down Times usually occur once each year and typically last two to three months.  Area Managers collect job requests from system physicists, project engineers, maintenance groups, and the ARTEMIS database.  A comprehensive schedule is prepared, updated, and reviewed at weekly meetings, starting about four months before the down time.  This schedule lists each job with an assigned shop, and lists the Project or Group Manager, Responsible Task Person, and Area Manager.  Schedule specifies time and duration of each job (with 1 day time resolution), and number of persons required.  Schedule specifies authorizations required (WAF, RSWCF, EWP, etc.).  Detailed (shift by shift) schedule of pre-run testing, safety certifications, and turn-on activities is prepared by the Operations Dept and revised as needed on a real-time basis.

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Maintenance Statistics  ARTEMIS entries since Jan 1989: 77,328 (as of April 18, 2006)  Total identified problems not yet closed: 456 Many of these involve non-critical problems that were observed, but went away without a clear explanation; e.g., a flow switch trip or a power supply found to be out of tolerance.  ARTEMIS entries in one year (since April 18, 2005): 3166 new problems (8.7 per day). 450 problems resulted in lost PEP-II run time problems closed (9.0 per day).  Active jobs: SML: 52 Next ROD: 32 Aug-Nov down time: 80

04/26/06 B-Factory Operations Review Conclusions  PEP-II B-Factory operations are managed by the Accelerator Systems Division in the PPA Directorate.  Control room operations are carried out by trained operators in compliance with documented policies and procedures for all safety-related activities.  Maintenance and installation work is accomplished through a matrix organization, drawing on engineers, technicians, and ES&H and shop services from the Operations Directorate.  We have developed organizational structures, software tools, and documentation that enable us to manage an ambitious accelerator-based science program safely and effectively.  Enhanced policies, procedures, and training programs introduced in the past two years ensure that all our work is carried out with high standards for safety.
