Total cost of ownership
Workshop presentation
Describing discoveries and rare processes with particle colliders require agreed Quality of Service (QoS) levels at sustainable operation cost over long time periods. It is far from obvious to identify the cost effective levers to achieve this and to push the performance frontiers in a sustainable manner. H. A. Simon and F. Vester coined the term "Sensitivity Analysis" in the late 70ies to...

Asset life cycles, condition and status monitoring
Workshop presentation
At DESY a large number of power supplies is in operation. To guarantee a reliable operation, these power supplies have to be permanently under survey. This includes a well-planned maintenance, detailed failure tracking and online survey of available information of the supplies, to predict and prevent future failures.
In an ORACLE database, the power supply data is stored as e.g. type of...

Maintenance requirements, strategies and business processes
Workshop presentation
A question we've probably done all ever is: you can apply the same procedures and standards of maintenance of an industrial facility to a scientific facility such as a synchrotron? One possible response in which many might agree would be basically yes, because the maintenance of each element forming the installation as a whole is very similar to other industrial facilities (air pressure,...

Workshop presentation
Lots of assets are operated or at least monitored from an operative point of view through supervisions systems at CERN. In parallel lots of assets are maintained through CMMS which need inputs from the supervision system to be efficient (e.g. number of cycles, of working hours …). This presentation will show how we managed, via a pilot project, to connect both tools and the perspectives for the future.

The group MKS-2 develops, installs, runs and maintains the infrastructure of the cryogenic control systems for the XFEL. Therefore we have to deal with a lot of components of different levels of granularity, from sensors and actors in the field to servers in the backend. We use the so-called IDS (Integrated Documentation System) not only for getting access to the documentation of individual...

Workshop presentation
It was the first time at CERN that the 10 large cryogenic installations of the LHC had 4 years of continuous operation followed by 12 months of complete shutdown. This huge task had not been possible if we did not work with a Computer Aided Maintenance Management System (CAMMS). Globally, run 1 and the first long shutdown have given very good results in availability and the organisation of the...

Maintenance requirements, strategies and business processes
Workshop presentation
Today control systems are widely spread and are part of most physical installations. It is natural to organise maintenance for all mechanical parts but it seems to be less evident for computerized equipment. The sectorizing and division of responsibilities for physical installations implies most of the times also a separation of responsibilities for control system installation and maintenance....
