Abstract :
All 21 Procurement Agreements (PAs) related to the ITER superconducting magnet system were signed in March 2011. Six Domestic Agencies (DAs) of the seven, namely China, EU, Japan, Russia, the United States and Korea have to deliver components of the magnet system like TF coils and Feeders. In order to organize the complicated international supply-chain, the ITER Manufacturing Database (MD) has been developed as a sub-project of the ITER Engineering Database (EDB) which aims to become the official Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system of the ITER project. The first version of the PLM was released in August 2011. One of the advantages of the MD is to provide clear definitions of the work conditions and resultant deliverables to all stakeholders for a common understanding and better mutual communication. The work conditions (e.g. applicable code/standard) are basically agreed by all stakeholders after the preparation phase. They are then prepared in the MD as four customized User I/F (interface) screens: the interactive Parts List, the Manufacturing Inspection Plan (MIP), the Welding Quality Inspection and Production Plan (WQIPP) and the Tooling List. Users only upload the required reports (e.g. the mill certificate for each part, test reports) into the corresponding User I/F. Consequently, the filled up User I/F becomes a deliverable, the Manufacturing Dossier.
