ST LHC Budget Follow-up

The ST division is deeply implicated in the LHC project, with a budget of more than 20% of the overall cost of the project. It is therefore important to monitor future estimates, the actual situation and to see where there are divergences between the two. A database has been created presenting the figures for each contract, group, and for the division as a whole. Despite the various types of contract management, the system presents the results in a uniform manner. It allows the initial, present and future situations to be easily reviewed. This highlights any problem areas, facilitates decision-making and enables us to inform the hierarchy of any changes that may have occurred.
