NCSX Systems Engineering Management Plan Peer Review Bob Simmons May 15, 2003

2 NCSX Data Management Plan Peer Review Review Committee – Charlie Neumeyer, Chair – Bob Simmons, Cog – Wayne Reiersen, RLM – Judy Malsbury – Mike Williams – Larry Dudek – Brad Nelson

May 15, Review Objectives Have the appropriate systems been established for the implementation of an effective systems engineering management program for NCSX? Do these systems provide an appropriate level of detail, yet are sufficiently flexible to meet the tailored approach philosophy for NCSX,including the work being accomplished at ORNL? What plans are in place to train the NCSX personnel in the various systems engineering programs and systems (e.g., configuration management, interface control, document management, etc.)? Still work in Progress

May 15, Relationships to Other NCSX Plans and Procedures The NCSX NCSX Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) is consistent with the requirements of the Project Execution Plan (PEP) and the Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) The SEMP is the top-level engineering plan and all other NCSX Engineering Project Plans support and expand the programs and systems outlined in the SEMP – Configuration Management Plan (CMP) – Interface Control Management Plan (ICMP) – Data Management Plan (DMP) – Document and Records Plan (DOC) – Pro/INTRALINK Users Guide

May 15, Systems Engineering (SE) is Central to the NCSX Engineering Processes Defines the processes for technical planning and control Defines the systems engineering processes Defines the engineering specialty integration processes

May 15, How Does the Systems Engineering Program Fit? ORNL has committed to follow NCSX plans and procedures Unless specifically modified or supeceded by NCSX-specific plans and procedures, NCSX is committed to following existing DOE and PPPL plans and procedures – In no instances are the NCSX plans and procedures in conflict or a dilution of the existing PPPL plans and procedures – Where NCSX is more rigorous, specific note will be made

May 15, Technical Program Planning and Control Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides the overall architecture for the systems engineering work – NCSX team structure has been aligned with the WBS NCSX Engineering Manager has overall responsibility for implementing the SE program on NCSX – Systems Engineering Support Manager and Design Integration Manager provide staff support to the Engineering Manager

May 15, Technical Program Planning and Control Four Project Engineers report directly to the Engineering Manager in the line organization – Stellarator Core (WBS 1) – Ancillary Systems (WBS 2-6) – Assembly Operations (WBS 7) – Operations (Testing, Ops and Maintenance Procedures, Prep for Ops)

May 15, Technical Program Planning and Control Systems Integration Team (SIT) – Consists of project personnel to facilitate integration of project work – Provides a forum for discussion of requirements interpretations, potential areas of risk, system level trade studies, coordination of processes, and resolution of issues – Intended to facilitate obtaining decisions through line management that are best for the project as a whole

May 15, Technical Program Planning and Control Work is organized Work is planned and costs and schedules are estimated and integrated – Use of SEML more rigorous during design process than existing PPPL procedures (e.g., WP as specified in ENG-032) – WP will govern any site work Work is authorized Work is tracked

May 15, Specification Types

May 15, Systems Engineering Processes Design Definition and Integration – Point where a design concept is created to satisfy a given set of requirements – Includes evaluation of alternatives – Eventually culminates in a final design for the entire NCSX Risk Management – Responsibility lies with NCSX line management – SIT will facilitate the identification of areas of risk, coordinating the development of risk mitigation plans, and the monitoring of performance against those plans

May 15, Systems Engineering Processes System Build – Starts with a concept and evolves in detail until the system is constructed and ready for integrated systems testing – Naturally an extension of the requirements analysis and design tasks for all components and subsystems – Intend to utilize construction techniques familiar to PPPL technicians System Test and Verification – Combination of inspection, demonstration, test, and analysis techniques

May 15, Systems Engineering Processes Configuration Management, Interface Control, and QA already subject of peer reviews Design Reviews – External design reviews conducted by DOE in support of Critical Decision milestones – Internal design reviews scheduled and planned in accordance with ENG-033 – usually at the subsystem level

May 15, Engineering Specialty Integration Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) – RAM Plan will be prepared prior to final design review Value Engineering/Management (VE/VM) – Will apply to NCSX using a graded approach – Already have implemented several VE/VM studies

May 15, Engineering Specialty Integration Parts, Materials, and Process Standardization and Control – Plan to develop a Master Parts List and Vacuum Materials List – by time of PDR Manufacturability – Manufacturing, Inspection, and Test Plan (MITP) shall be produced for each configuration item

May 15, Engineering Specialty Integration Constructability – Under the leadership of the Assembly Operations Project Engineer, although all WBS Managers have this responsibility Space allocations Access for assembly Required assembly sequence Early identification and mitigation of constructability issues Design features to reduce construction costs Training – Safety and project-specific

May 15, Engineering Specialty Integration Technical Publications (O&M Manuals, etc.) – Electronic or hard copy data bases available (depending on material) ES&H – ISM policies and practices followed – ES&H review of technical documentation throughout the life of the project

May 15, SEML (PROC-004) The Systems Engineering Master Logic is the key planning document during the design phase – Defines the logic for design development and the necessary activities and deliverables for the Preliminary and Final Design Reviews – Used as guide when developing the WAFs Work Planning (WPs) shall be used for planning all field work, including on-site R&D during the design phases

May 15, SEML (PROC-004) This procedure lays out the process for – Identifying configuration items (CI) and for aligning the specifications, design reviews, and acquisition plans with that CI – Developing the SEML (generic example) for both Preliminary and Final Design Reviews
