Organization / Specific managerial aspects
M1 ERIC finalisation Unknown admistrative process with potential impact on-going call for tenders and schedule 32 MAJOR Mitigation Mitigations at management level (see
Management RR) 16 MAJOR
M2 Time schedule reduction Procurement financial offers should be higher than expected 32 MAJOR Transfert Additional cost to be transfered to ESS
M3 Time schedule reduction of RFQ contract
No single manufacturer able to sustain the schedule constraint 32 MAJOR Transfert Delay to be tranfered to ESS
M4 Time schedule reduction of RFQ contract
Auxilairies + Tuner + couplers contracts nor reaching RFQ contract on target time (from schedule point of view)
64 SEVERE Mitigation
Set sub-critical contracts as priority in order to put them outside the critical path : ressources allocations, special adlinstrative procedure, pre-selection of bidders. Close follow-up of adminstrative durations
32 MAJOR
M5Time schedule reduction > End plate final assembly no RF tested (only dummy finger tested)
End plate RF specification not achieved (with final components) 16 MAJOR Transfert Delays and additional cost to be tranfered to ESS
M6Time schedule reduction > No final vacuum system integrated and tested @ Saclay
Vacuum system performance not reaching its specifications (RFQ vacuum integrity still tested ) during validations at Saclay
16 MAJOR Mitigation Delays and additional cost to be transfered to ESS if issues arise after shipment. 16 MAJOR
M7Time schedule reduction > No final vacuum control system integrated and tested @ Saclay
Vacuum control system not reaching its specifications during validations at Saclay 16 MAJOR Mitigation
Mitigation : Vacuum CS partially tested on 1 or 2 sectionsTransfert : Delays and additional cost to be tranfered to ESS to correct problem after shipment
8 MINOR
M8Time schedule reduction > Cooling system FAT only, no SAT (leak test, skid performance test)
Cooling system performance not reaching its specifications during check-out at Saclay 32 MAJOR Mitigation
Mitigation : Water loss of pressure simulations in FAT (new in contract), Transfert : Cooling system assembly and leak test to be performed directly by ESS / Delays and additional cost to be tranfered to ESS to correct problem after shipment
32 MAJOR
M9 Only partial tests at sacaly More manmpower needed in Lund to finish CEA contribution 32 MAJOR Mitigation
Change contract approach (with limitation in ressources according to intial cost) + all correcivtes cost to be supported by ESS => Cost & fee
32 MAJOR
M10 Accelerator System team not stabilized. Engineering process not stable
External RFQ interfaces not frozen in due time (CDR2) to finalize Tech Specs 64 SEVERE Mitigation
CDR2 before manufacturing with high priority interfaces specification.Interface specification reviewed both by CEA and ESS
8 MINOR
No mitigation With the tight schedule,
final end plates will not be tested in Saclay
Mitigation : Water loss of pressure simulations in
FAT Issues discovered in Lund
will take longer to solve
Cooling system performance not reaching its specification first timeAuxilairies + Tuner + couplers contracts not
reaching RFQ contract on target time (from schedule
point of view)
Procurement financial offers should be higher
than expected because of shorter manufacturing time
No single manufacturer able to sustain the
schedule constraint of 20 months
More CEA manpower needed in Lund to finish
CEA contribution.Overcost
Set sub-critical contracts as priority in order to put them outside the critical path (ie: tuner prototype)
No mitigation No mitigation

t Mitigation Strategy / main actions Level("As a result of...") ("There is a risk that...")Individual components performance
C1 Beam Dynamics design issues … RFQ RF design does not match the all the performance requirements 32 MAJOR MitigationCDR0 has reviewed all design topics / Qualification
plan / Bead pull / 16 MAJOR
C2 Peak power very high, design based on SP2 under installation,
Couplers not reaching specifications (800 kW) 64 SEVERE Mitigation
The couplers will be tested on the test cavity / One coupler spare / Additional windows spares / Qualification plan (progressive steps)
32 MAJOR
Procurements
P1 Not enough applicants, over cost from tenderers, bad tendering process
tenders process not conclude in due time 32 MAJOR Mitigation
Anticipate as much as possible call for tenders even if specifications are not completely defined.The markets are closely followed.
8 MINOR
P2
Several company to deliver the auxiliairies parts, technological challenges (SS/Cu brazing), process qualification to reach, manufacturing schedules slippage
Auxiliaries parts (esp. RFQ ports) to brazed delivered too late to RFQ manufacturer
32 MAJOR MitigationClose follow-up of manufacturers, Enhanced QA 4 MINOR
P3 Manufacturing workload and internal bad arbitration from the manufacturer RFQ manufacturer late delivery 32 MAJOR Mitigation
Define precise steps with the manufacturer to follow process datesWe will request frequent meetings with manufacturer to follow process.Higher delivery penalties / incitationsMarket survey (Industry proper selection)
16 MAJOR
P4 ESS issues Vacuum and its control system not delivered on time by ESS 16 MAJOR Mitigation
Enhance communication with vacuum and control teams. If possible, the pump used for all anticipated tests during prototyping and RFQ assembly will be identical to the final pumps in order to prove mechanical adjustment.Send 3D to vacuum team ASAP
16 MAJOR
Manufacturing process
MP1Bad behaviour of materials during brazing, senstive and new process for the selected company
Difficulties to perform RFQ sections brazing 64 SEVERE Mitigation
Check brazing experience prior to tender approval / Follow up process during manufacturing / Brazing process qualification / Cu Spare parts / Brazor expert is working with us to help on and follow brazing procedure.
16 MAJOR
MP2 Difficult manufacturing process (ceramic window brazing …)
No manufacturing acceptance of Couplers (leaks, conditioning barriers, …)
64 SEVERE Mitigation
One coupler spare + Manufacturing process with validation steps (NOT considered in current risk analysis : 2 or 3 spares in option / pre-serie qualification inc conditioning / Contract provisions)
32 MAJOR
Acceptance
A1 RF archs damaging critical parts of the cavity RFQ compromised during conditioning 64 SEVERE MitigationProgressive RF power ramp / Cleanliness cautions during manufacturing and assembly at Lund / RF expert for conditionning
16 MAJOR
One coupler spare + Manufacturing process with validation steps.
The couplers will be tested on the test cavity.
Manufacturing process issues for the couplers
(ceramic window)
Couplers not reaching specifications because peak power is very high

PROJECT RISKS SUMMARY
No “RED” level risks after mitigation
Most risks concern the time schedule as it contains no margin.
Most critical technical part is the coupler because it is a complex part and the power required is very high.
