Slide3MIPO
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 effortConstruction and integration of a muon cooling channel requires a more holistic approach

Slide4Near 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 schedule whichRealistically 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

Slide5MIPO 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

Slide6MIPO: 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 operationPropose 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
