Sumario:The few weeks of LHC operation in 2009 was a resounding success with extremely fast progress in the beam commissioning. Nevertheless, the period also revealed a number of possible weaknesses in various aspects of the LHC operation, including procedures, tools, discipline, equipment and organisation. The weaknesses are discussed with a view to feeding the experience back to improve the machine operation for 2010 and beyond. The distinction is made impacting efficiency, and those points which are more serious and might impact machine protection.
