6. Schedule Has already been impacted by; Change to ESS delivery timescale –Final Delivery moved from Oct 19 to March 19 –Corrected by reducing QTY of LWUs to be particulate counted –Also due to moving start date of manufacture forward using pre-series & OM framework Magnet Delivery timescales moving BPM time scales recently slipping Therefore there is now very little time contingency

14. In Kind Deliveries Both of the dates for these items have been pushed back since the project plan presented here was first produced. New BPM delivery dates effect the start of the project –Only aware of the delay two weeks ago –Have yet to asses the impact on schedule –Very likely this will delay start of the project Rescheduling for the new magnet delivery dates has been done, however….

28. Staffing Requirements

30. Organisational Breakdown

31. Project Sponsor The Project Sponsor has the management ownership of the project. Within STFC, the Project Sponsor is the person who essentially commissions the activity and who has delegated responsibility within STFC for the project. A Project Sponsor will be appointed in the case of larger projects; he or she is advised by the Oversight Committee and would be a member of the Project Board. In other cases the role will default to the Division Head or Director that owns the project. For smaller projects, or where STFC is a legal partner in a large international collaborative project, the Project Sponsor can also be the Customer. The roles of the Sponsor include: Chairing the Project Board where applicable, Providing the senior management ownership of the project, Ensuring that the project is actively managed and meets its objectives, Ensuring the benefits of the project to STFC as defined in the Business Case, are realised, Representing the Customer’s interests, Agreeing the Project Management Plan with the Project Manager.

32. Project Manager The key role in the project team is that of Project Manager (PM). Their primary responsibility is to deliver the project to specification, in time, and on budget within the constraints and critical success factors in the project specification, strategy, and management plan. The PM is responsible for the day to day planning and execution of the project, within the budget and timescale agreed with STFC. The Project Manager is responsible to the PI, where appointed, and accountable to the Project Sponsor for the efficient delivery of the project to specification, cost and schedule, and his or her main duties can be summarised as: Working with the Project Sponsor and Customer to develop and agree the Project Management Plan and Project Specification, Leading and motivating the project team and maintaining a proactive management environment. This means foreseeing problems and taking appropriate and timely pre- emptive action, Ensuring that the project team, both internal and external, is thoroughly familiarised with the contents of the agreed Project Management Plan Ensuring that any changes to the Project Specification, throughout the life of the project, are reviewed, agreed with the Customer or Project Sponsor and controlled, Identifying, and where appropriate agreeing with line managers, the correct skills and resources to achieve the objectives and the training required to ensure the health and safety of STFC and non-STFC staff working under their direction as part of the project, Establishing detailed budgets and schedules, allocating individual responsibilities and defining the budgetary control process, Monitoring and controlling progress against milestones and deliverables, managing project risks, and reporting on cost and schedule to the Project Sponsor and Customer within the TD ETC ISO9001:2008 Quality Management System, Acting as a common focal point throughout the project lifecycle from initiation to closure, liaising with specialists, suppliers and commercial departments as required, Working closely with the Project Sponsor and Customer so that the project objectives are fully satisfied with respect to time, cost, quality and performance, Undertaking reviews as defined in the quality plan, Ensuring that that comprehensive project Close Out and Post Implementation Reviews are carried out. Report monthly to STFC project board Report every 3 month to ASTeC – TD project board

33. Project Team Members Team members are responsible to the Project Manager. In all projects the team members’ duties will include: Ensuring that their tasks, work packages or sub-projects, are completed to the agreed specification, time and budget, Reporting to the Project Manager on the progress and performance of their task, Escalating issues that are outside their authority to the Project Manager. Escalation points should be determined before the start of the project Taking part in reviews as required.

34. Governance Position Name Project SponsorJohn Simpson ChairJohn Simpson UK-ESS Board memberJohn Goff Independent technical inputSteve Jago Independent PM expertiseJoe O’Dell ESSMats Lindroos FinanceJane Warren Technical secretaryNick Templeton InvitedNeil Bliss InvitedKeith Middleman

35. Governance Is the project on track to meet its objectives – or does the project team need additional help? Is this project still the right thing to do, or have external circumstances changed? If the project has encountered major technical issues such that it can no longer meet its original goals, what new scope is feasible and useful? If the project needs additional resources to stay on track, where can they be found? Does the project need access to contingency funds?

36. Mini Review STFC internal independent advisors looked at –Costing –Project Plan –Risk Register –Specifications sheet –Technical Annex –Initial scope of work document “The Panel was impressed by the level of detail presented at the review and was of the opinion that the project team were in full control of the project.”

37. Mini Review The following recommendations are made by The Panel; Interfaces between DL provided hardware and other hardware should be frozen at CDR. Any changes occurring after CDR should be subjected to formal change notices so that cost and schedule impacts can be assessed and agreed by all parties. It should be made clear to ESS at this stage that the signed off design should be considered part of the specification / supersedes any ambiguity or lack of detail in the specification. The project should review the time allocated to project management and consider whether more time should be allocated to problem resolution. The Technical Annex should be issued and signed off by ESS and STFC by CDR. The project (or the wider STFC / ESS programme) should consider if there are any possible ways of easing the procurement burden (e.g. framework for transportation / increasing OM framework limit etc…). The project should try to develop a mitigation strategy in case the BPMs are delivered late.

39. Top Rated Risks

40. Other risks worth noting ESS Timescale –Final delivery by March 19 is tight –Adjusting the schedule to meet this has been difficult Helped by the reduced particulate counted units Magnet Pipe Heating Tendering Process

47. Quality Assurance STFC Technology Department at Daresbury Laboratory operates a quality system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. The quality system defines how a project will be coordinated and documented. The management of a project is based on an agreed Project Specification and a series of reviews at key stages in the work. The detailed implementation of the Quality Management system is described in standardised group procedures, processes and local instructions. These provide the core of the Quality Management System and provides the detail required to operate the system. The processes and procedures are followed by STFC staff undertaking specified activities.
