Discussion of BDSworkpackages.ppt

Date Event Tuesday’s discussion EDR organization Work Package distribution Suggested WPs BDS Detector WPs etc. EDR definition Clear definition of EDR is needed to define the schedule, milestones and deliverables Consider EDR as construction proposal, where most critical system should have RD mostly completed, drawings done and prototypes studied for some other system, after initial RD and feasibility demonstration at the end of EDR, RD may still continue after EDR more standard systems and components should have specs defined Work Package distribution How WPs are distributed? For BDS, bidding for WP is not appropriate WPs are to be distributed in the process of pre-negotiation, optimization, evaluation by BDS team/consortium WP development Yesterday’s discussion is a step in the process which is been developing already by many years, where BDS international team/consortium discussed, optimized and distributed work packages among the partners Formalization of the process and centralization of responsibilities (and funding) may be crucial The S4 task force is a step to this direction The process should allow adjustments of WP and also allow new partners to join WP, vertical horizontal For many of the systems and WP, vertical (within the Area) responsibility and organization is appropriate For some system and WP, horizontal organization (across the areas) also has to be present I.e, matrix structure has to remain in some form MDI aspects of WPs Many critical BDS and IR systems are dual functions, for BDS and Detector Will need to define, agree upon and follow the interfaces Description of interfaces would include all the needed parameters For example, description of the interface for FD would include sizes, geometry description requirements on stability of supporting detector surface etc Very high priority RD = WPs Includes items which have major impact on operational performance need substantial amount of RD.
