Description

The start of LHC operation after ten years of installation and commissioning introduced new actors and new procedures within the accelerator complex operation. It revealed the need to ease the information flow across the different teams in charge of intervention co-ordination: corrective and preventive maintenance, upgrades and consolidation interventions needing technical validation, discussion between stakeholders, scheduling, safety checking and follow-up. In 2010, a new tool was developed for intervention scheduling (Work Acceptance Tool), providing a central point of information and decision. This paper will describe the different actors and their roles, the new tool in place, the benefits gained and it will draw the first conclusions after its first use during the LHC technical stop.
