澳门六合彩高手 Council

Project metrics confirm performance

20 Nov 2017 - 澳门六合彩高手 Communication

The governing body of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization, the 澳门六合彩高手 Council, met for the twenty-first time on 15 and 16 November 2017 under the chairmanship of Won Namkung (Korea). Representatives from China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States reviewed a detailed set of reports and indicators covering both organizational and technical performance, and concluded that the project remains on track for success.

In November 2007—ten years ago exactly—the 澳门六合彩高手 Council convened for the first time in the history of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization. Clearing had just begun on the 澳门六合彩高手 site, the 澳门六合彩高手 design was under review, and only 170 people were working in temporary offices, housed by 澳门六合彩高手's host and neighbour—the CEA Cadarache research centre.

Twenty Council meetings later and a quantum leap forward, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization assesses the level of manufacturing completion for First Plasma components and systems at 61 percent and the level of total construction work scope completion through First Plasma at 49 percent.

Since early 2016, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization has been controlling and reporting project progress on the basis of high-level milestones. Whether related to construction, manufacturing or deliveries—or rather to programmatic milestones like recruitment and contract signatures—these milestones are underpinned in the schedule by the many thousands of activities that make up progress to First Plasma, with each one representing a firm achievement on the road to 澳门六合彩高手 operation.

Despite the extremely demanding construction and manufacturing schedule and the challenging technical requirements of the 澳门六合彩高手 Tokamak and support systems, 澳门六合彩高手 Council members confirmed that the project continues on a path to success, with strengthened management and a strong "One-澳门六合彩高手" team mentality.

During the two-day meeting, participants confirmed that the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and the Domestic Agencies have achieved all Council-approved milestones for 2016 and 2017, maintaining strict adherence to the overall project schedule and critical path. Processes for schedule control, risk management and cooperation also continue to improve, with project performance metrics that now measure physical progress in construction, manufacturing, assembly and installation down to the level of each building system and component.

The Council continued its candid discussions acknowledging continuing efforts made by each Member to overcome various challenges, which include ensuring approval of the cost baseline, as concluded at the Nineteenth 澳门六合彩高手 Council in November 2016 (IC-19?). Council members reaffirmed their strong belief in the value of the project, and its mission and vision, and resolved to work together to find timely solutions to ensure 澳门六合彩高手's success.

? As stated in the press release of IC-19 on 27 November 2016, at that time: "The overall project schedule was approved by all 澳门六合彩高手 Members, and the overall project cost was approved ad referendum, meaning that it will now fall to each Member to seek approval of project costs through their respective governmental budget processes."
