1. DOE Review of the LCLS Project 7-9 February 2006
Quality Assurance
Darren S. Marsh
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. ANL & LLNL Quality Assurance
From LCLS QIP
Quality standards at ANL/LLNL/SLAC are comparable

7. Technical Specifications

8. Technical Baseline – Design Definition Requirements Summary

9. Requirement Documents Tracking
Requirement documents status reviewed at LCLS CCB Meetings
Applicable requirements document updated based on CCB action or requirement change

10. 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 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)

11. Technical Design Reviews

12. 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

13. 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

14. Procurement & Subcontractor Control
PMD 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

15. 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

16. 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 Waveguide Penetration Vacuum Leaks
Injector RF Waveguide contamination

17. 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

18. 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
