Memorandum
DATE: October 20, 1997
TO: Distribution
FROM: Gordon Smith
Subject: Performance Assessment SEPTEMBER 1997; FEL UPGRADE
The project has a budget of $3.7M and
a scheduled completion of September 1998. Four accounts with
tasks or pegpoints have been set up to monitor and track the progress,
both the performance and costs. The reporting is set up in the
same format and procedures utilized for the IR FEL Demo project.
The four accounts are Scaleable Optical Cavity $900k; Cryomodule
for Upgrade $1100k; Commissioning Preparation $900k, and IR FEL
Commissioning $800k. Each account will be discussed in subsequent
paragraphs.
The project budget at completion is
$3.7M, which has been spread over the project duration through
task delineation and scheduling in the four accounts. The first
month showing any scheduled work is September 1997, which has
$480k of work scheduled to be performed. Performance reported
for the project is $1,625k. The costs reported were $1,795k,
producing a negative cost variance of $170k. Obligations for
the month are $332k. The cost variance will be addressed in the
individual accounts
221- Scaleable Optical Cavity
The conceptual design for the cavity
was completed. The WBS has no schedule variance and a negative
cost variance of $54k.
321 - Cryomodule for Upgrade
All the scheduled pegpoints to date
have been accomplished, resulting in the task being on schedule
and under cost by $109k. The key accomplishment this month was
identification of cryomodule cavities.
421 - Commissioning Preparations
The account accrued $320k of performance
this month with actual cost being $1,000k. This puts the account
on schedule and overcost by $225k. $108k of the over cost is
a FY 98 commissioning support contract (431) that was obligated
early on the wrong cost code. Key accomplishments this month
include completion of the procedures for testing dipole magnets;
final design and testing of components for the Analog Monitoring
System, and check-out of the additional RF power capability afforded
by the 225 kW cathode power supply. This account is now closed.
431 - IR FEL Commissioning
No work is scheduled on this account
until October. The account has accrued no costs.
