Year 2000 Performance Report

The mandate of the ST/CV-OP unit consists in the operation and maintenance of the cooling systems and air conditioning installations for the PS accelerator complex, the SPS and LEP machines as well as the heating plants and all CERN pumping stations. This paper intends to provide the performance report related to the last twelve months of activity of the operation unit. The role of the Computed Aided Maintenance and the evolution of a set of performance indicators during last three years will also be presented. A brief analysis of the data and a comment related to opportunity represented by the LEP-LHC transition will follow. In addition the author will try to give in figures a more specific idea of the operation environment, how this function evolves in numbers and which are, in his opinion, the improvement axes and the eventual risks.
