## Panel Production

**104 ME234/2 Chambers (~70%)**
**17 / 727 Rejected Panels (2.3%)**
**9 panels rejected on Axxiom **
**8 panels rejected on Gerber**

## Chamber Production

**L4 Milestones**
**11 *****“completed”***** ME234/2 by end of FY ‘00**
**18 *****“completed”***** ME234/2 by end of CY ‘00**
**66 completed ME234/2 by end of FY’01**

## Production Activities for PNPI

**Setting up a Factory implies placing many activities/items under control**
**Tooling **
- _Assembly, Commissioning & Shipment_
- _Operating Procedures_
**Parts Control**
- _Parts Inspection & Shipment_
- Parts Accounting
- Parts Storage and Flow to the Production Floor
**Chamber Assembly Activities**
- _Assembly Procedures_ & _Personnel Training_
- _Definition/tooling for QA/QC Activities_
- Discrepancy Report Scenarios
- Travelers and Measurements Data-basing
- _Underlined __	_Fermilab Responsibilities
**PNPI in position to assemble chambers by ~Nov-Dec ‘00**

**EMU(FNAL)-PNPI MOU**

## Production Kits for PNPI/IHEP

**Chamber sign-off *****should be***** a necessary conditions to start even the simplest  production/procurement for PNPI/IHEP kits**
**Close calls**
- ME1/2 bolt holes location influenced by water cooling tubes
- Retro-reflective target influenced by cathode ground lugs
- Cathode Protection Circuit (?)
**Bottleneck appears to be Panel Production**
**L3 Management Requirements**
**Keep FNAL Factory Going**
**Have 100% ME2/1 assembled at PNPI by Mar ‘02**
**Have 100% ME3/1 assembled at PNPI by Dec ‘02**
**Have 100% ME4/1 assembled at PNPI by Dec ‘03**
**IHEP Schedule Proposal**
- Have 50% of ME1/2 and 50% of ME1/3 assembled by Jun ‘03

## Production Kits for PNPI/IHEP

**Panel Production at FNAL**

## Production Kits for PNPI/IHEP

**FNAL Panel Production vs. PNPI Chamber Production**

**100% ME2/1**
**completed by 4/02**

**100% ME3/1**
**completed by 1/03**

**100% ME4/1**
**completed 10/03**

## Production Kits for PNPI/IHEP

**FNAL Panel Production vs. IHEP Chamber Production**

**50% ME1/2**
**completed by 6/02**

**50% ME1/2**
**completed by 3/03**

**100% ME1/2-ME1/3**
**completed by 5/04**

**IHEP Factory stops for lack**
**of panels**

**IHEP Factory increases**
**output rate by ~2**

## FNAL Goals for the Future

**Provide all the necessary technical, engineering and management support to achieve the following goals:**
**Produce a total of 66 ME234/2 chambers at FNAL**
**Allow PNPI to achieve production Readiness by Early Spring ‘01**
**Allow IHEP to achieve Production Readiness in Spring ‘01**
**Ship 12 ME2/1 kits to PNPI in Spring ‘01**
**Ship 12 ME1/2 kits to IHEP in Spring ‘01 (?)**
**Validate the first 20 ME234/2 chambers in Lab 7**
**Ship to FAST Sites all validated chambers ASAP**
