U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade LAr Level 2 and Level 3 Managers Mailing List

[John Parsons <parsons AT nevis.columbia.edu>]

Hello all,

	I just received the November CPR, which I attach.  Here are some 
observations, and comparisons to October:

- overall, LAr went from 0.80 to 0.85 at L2, so moving in the right 
direction.  However, some of this came from the DOE BCP, and in 
particular moving Hao finally to an updated schedule.  Many (most) of 
the other L3s and L4s stayed roughly as bad as October

6.4.1 - Tim remains the only L3 above the 0.90 SPI limit (moving from 
0.91 to 0.92) and therefore does not require a variance report  (we will 
see if that changes next month given the delay in the COLUTAv3 chip 
delivery)

6.4.2 - FEB2 remains slightly behind (moved from 0.85 to 0.86, so not 
far from 0.90 cutoff)

6.4.3 - still very board, moved from 0.41 to 0.43.  Small overall 
improvement was due to f/w at U Az, that went from 0.40 to 0.48, while 
h/w at SBU remains at 0.41 (and becomes new "owner" of lowest SPI!)

6.4.4 - Hao's BCP made big difference. BE Integ. moved from 0.67 to 
0.90. However, while FEB2 Integ. moved significantly (from 0.38 to 
0.53), the move was not nearly enough to get back close to "on schedule"

6.4.5 - improved a bit, moving from 0.77 to 0.83, presumably due to ALFE 
submission in November.
        
	While we are not yet tracking CPI as closely as SPI, a few comments 
about CPIs are also in order:

6.4.1 - Austin and SMU are underspent by ~30%

6.4.3 - U Az is overspent by ~25% (though the total cost so far is modest)

6.4.4 - Syst. Integ. is WAY underspent! (factor of 5.68!!)  Hao/Hong, 
please check what is going on there, since it seems things are not being 
charged properly

6.4.5 - from past history, U Penn is credited with $86.6k of work but 
they only charged 18.5k.  Hong, can you talk with Penka to see what we 
should do about the reporting of this, since it would be preferable to 
not keep carrying it along in all reports through the lifetime of the 
project

	Everyone except Tim will need to prepare a variance report for 
November.  (Keep in mind that the PO decided for October to only have 
variance reports at L2, so you don't need to do one for October; I will 
complete the October L2 variance report tomorrow.)
        Regards,
                John
