Sumario:During the 2016 LHC proton un the main contributor to LHC downtime turns out to be the LHC injector chain. In this paper the corresponding LHC downtime will be assigned to either Linac2, the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), the Proton Synchrotron (PS) or the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The main root causes for the injector faults will be explained and a strategy outlined for the future to increase the injector availability. Ideas how to improve the injector fault tracking will also be given.
