**Management System:** [Life Cycle Asset Management (LCAM)]{.underline}

**Status/maturity of the system:**

The primary functions of this Management System vary in their level of
maturity. There are currently several Subject Areas in development that
when deployed and implemented will bring this Management System to full
maturity.

The Davis-Bacon Act Subject Area was released in October 2001. The
process is considered mature within F&O. Planned required line
assessments will determine maturity level beyond F&O.

A maturity evaluation was performed on the Engineering Design Subject
Area (EDSA) in July 2001. It demonstrated that the subject area was not
yet fully implemented by all laboratory organizations that perform
engineering design. Affected line organizations were asked in July 2002
to review their internal Engineering Design process to identify and
document gaps between their current processes and the requirements of
the EDSA. These reviews have been received with completion dates to
close the gaps. An assessment schedule needs to be developed and
implemented.

A Maintenance Management Subject Area is being developed to replace the
legacy Operations and Maintenance Manual that currently resides in SBMS.
Once completed line organizations site wide will be requested to perform
an assessment and document gaps between the requirements of the Subject
Area and their current maintenance programs. As with the EDSA,
completion dates will be established and assessments planned and
conducted.

This Management System has two laboratory level committees associated
with it, the Davis-Bacon Review Committee and the Infrastructure
Planning Teams Committee. Both committees are believed to be mature.

The BNL Site Master planning process is mature and performing well. Real
property assets are being planned for, managed, tracked, and upgraded as
required in order to meet BNL\'s current and future programmatic needs.
These processes are believed to be mature.

The Energy Management process of the Management System utilizes existing
process of LCAM such as Engineering Design requirements and Planning.
These processes are fully mature.

Up coming regulatory changes incorporated by the DOE Real Property
Management Order (RPAM) will need to be evaluated to determine the
significance of impact.

**General Work Scope**

The following work is planned for FY 03:

-   Complete and implement the Maintenance Management Subject Area.

-   Review and update the Management System Description.

-   The Point of Contact will conduct an assessment of LCAM management
    system functions falling within the Facilities and Operations
    Directorate operations, including its Divisions in accordance with
    the F&O FY03 Self Assessment Plan. The results of this assessment
    will be reviewed with the Management System Steward and corrective
    actions will be entered into the F&O Corrective Action Tracking
    System.

# Integrated Assessment Planning (assessment activities planned by the management system steward which impact organizations other than their own)

In June 2002 a Facilities and Operations Management System Project Plan
was developed as part of the Facilities & Operations (F&O)
Self-Assessment Program. This document outlines assessment activities to
be conducted over a five year cycle on F&O's five assigned Management
Systems. The following activities external to F&O are planned for FY03
for this management system.

> Steward:]{.underline}**

######## [FO General]{.underline}

> The Point of Contact will develop a questionnaire of the core
> activities and requirements of LCAM**,** excluding the requirements of
> the Engineering Design and Davis-Bacon Act Subject Areas. The
> questionnaire will serve as a tool to inform line mangers of their
> responsibilities and to assess the extent to which they are meeting
> these responsibilities. The MSS will utilize the results of the
> questionnaire to assess management system status. Follow-up activities
> may be required in the form of requests for additional information or
> interviews with line managers and functional specialists. The results
> of this assessment will be reviewed with the Management System Steward
> and a determination will be made as to what actions, if any, will be
> required to complete implementation of the Management System.

##### Engineering Design Subject Area Assessment

> The Point of Contact for LCAM will conduct a follow-up
> assessment/evaluation in April/May 2003 to assess status of
> implementation of the subject area and identify areas needing further
> improvement. Corrective actions will be entered into ATS. The results
> of this assessment will be reviewed with the Management System Steward
> and a determination will be made as to what actions, if any, will be
> required to complete implementation of the Management System.

###### Davis-Bacon Act Self-Assessment

> Affected line organizations will be asked by March 30^,^ 2003 to
> review their compliance with the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act
> Subject Area. They will be asked to identify and document gaps between
> their current processes and the requirements of the Subject Area, and
> to identify closure of these gaps. Line organizations will be
> responsible for tracking their corrective actions in ATS and advising
> the MSS when completed.

review):]{.underline}**

#### **[Zero Based Budgeting Assessment]{.underline}**

> A zero-based budget analysis is planned for Plant Engineering in FY03.
> The analysis will be conducted by a team composed of the ALD, F&O, the
> F&O BOM, Plant Engineering senior management, representatives of the
> scientific community, and a budget office representative.
