Description
The ALS-U project is nearing completion of the installation of the accumulator ring and focusing efforts on starting construction and ultimately installing the storage ring. This presentation will outline the engineering workflows and processes developed to support the complex logistics and configuration management challenges of a large-scale projects. Specifically, we will use the ALS upgrade project as a case study to demonstrate how Berkeley Lab is leveraging the Product Lifecycle Management tool Windchill and other integrated database systems to connect design, fabrication, assembly, installation, calibration, testing, and quality control processes, thereby establishing a comprehensive framework with a centralized repository that will enable a smooth transition of the new facility into commissioning and will ultimately support its next science operation phase.
