  2. MIPO MICE RLS Review (RAL)

  3. MIPO • Provides a mechanism for: • Detailed and integrated scheduling • Assessing realistic budget constraints with contingency • A management chain integrated with the funding paths, thus providing a clear chain of responsibility • Comments: • A realistic and robust schedule cannot be achieved on the basis of a simplistic model of components being delivered to RAL for modular integration into a beam line • Risks and potential for contingencies are simply too great • Systems integration issues are significant • These issues have major budget and manpower impacts for the primary members of the construction effort • Construction and integration of a muon cooling channel requires a more holistic approach MICE RLS Review (RAL)

  4. Near Term MIPO Priorities • Detailed analysis of contingency issues • Requires integrated team • Requires integrated tools • Requires an agreed upon model for managing a project with significant technical risks still active • Thus providing a schedulewhich • Realistically assesses the budget and contingency constraints • Can specify the expected dates for experimental capabilities with a high degree of reliability • And also budget assumptions to complete each experimental step which are believable MICE RLS Review (RAL)

  5. MIPO Challenges • Have already discussed integrated scheduling and a mutually agreed upon model for assessing budget and contingency • Management of contingency across international funding boundaries remains challenging • Potential bias in the solutions chosen • Potential inefficient use of resources • Need a clear funding profile among all major participants that accounts for contingency so as to enable proper execution a Would like to negotiate with funding agencies how to implement this MICE RLS Review (RAL)

  6. MIPO: in operation • Many discussions on implementation of MIPO, how it operates, interface with MICE collaboration etc. • Realised when asked at RLSR that we were not clear amongst ourselves about the details of its operation • Propose to produce a one-page specification for the operation of MIPO in time for the MICE collaboration meeting at FNAL/IIT in 17—19 June 2013 • Andy Nichols has agreed to produce this document on this timescale MICE RLS Review (RAL)
