Global Design Effort optimises industralisation models
This week's issue features a Director's Corner from Akira Yamamoto, Project Manager for the Global Design Effort.
As part of Technical Design Phase 2, the Global Design Effort (GDE) has been working towards more realistic and cost-effective industrialisation models for the production of superconducting radiofrequency (SCRF) cavities and cryomodules, as these are primary cost drivers in the ILC construction estimate. The most important issue to be explored is how to distribute and […]
