Description
The industrialisation of a major international project such as the ILC is a complex and difficult undertaking essential to provide cost-effective production of large-volume components. The major item studied here is the industrialisation of the superconducting RF cavities and cryomodules. An outline of the construction schedule is given followed by R&D topics that could usefully be carried on after the completion of the TDR and before project construction begins to optimise construction and contain costs.
