Description
The objectives of the LHC Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) are to ensure that the LHC machine is built to specifications and that, once installed, can be operated, maintained and improved in an as efficient way as possible. The first version of the LHC QAP documents was issued in 1999 and has since been extended to cover today all the project phases from conceptual design to fabrication and testing. In this seminar, I will present the current status of the QAP work and also show some examples of how the QAP is applied in the daily work of the LHC project engineers. I will also explain the strategy for its evolution, which will cover the installation, commissioning and maintenance phases of the LHC project. Some of the EDMS tools developed to support definitions and procedures in the QAP will also be presented.
