6. Planning

7. Manpower Planning • 01/04/13-10/04/14 one team of 2 persons for Ti2, Ti8 and TT10 • 01/04/13-17/04/14 one team of 2-3 persons for the SPS Ring • Control, calculation and follow up by Guillaume (First controls, Geode loading), Patrick, Christophe 50% and Philippe 50% (Calculation and follow up) • No temporarily personnel allowed in SPS (RP Supervised Area) • Dose Rate Planning to be finished and to be respected! • Change of personnel between Transfer lines and SPS ring • Short interventions of a staff team for selected jobs

8. Status of preparation • Skeleton of Planning is fixed • Procedures / Sequences currently under control • Dose Rate planning ongoing • Jigs to be listed and controlled • Material to be controlled and tested • New electronic Ecartometer • New Hydraulic lifting system for SPS dipoles • Still more and more ECR´s are coming in • Work requested by others (20 Dipoles, BA1 Cabeling, Kicker and Septa exchanges etc.)

9. Conclusion Almost the maximum of all possible activities is foreseen in LS1. Some of these activities are new for the contractor and me as well. Maximum of guidance and support in the field is needed, especially during startup of activities. Stay vigilant and attentive: Lots of repetitive tasks for the teams Hope for the best... ..But be prepared for the worst!
