Description
The sustained reliability and availability of the LANSCE accelerator depend on a clearly defined and integrated “systems” framework. This foundation links five core sustainment strategies: Asset Management, Risk Management, Conduct of Engineering, Training & Qualification, and Data Collection & Analysis. Unifying these under a common structure enables consistent decision-making, coordinated resource use, prioritized maintenance, and system-level performance tracking. It breaks down silos, improves efficiency, and supports targeted workforce development while reinforcing clarity in roles, responsibilities, authority, and accountability. Realizing this vision requires deliberate planning, early stakeholder engagement, and a robust change management strategy to navigate organizational and cultural shifts. This unified framework bridges short-term needs with long-term goals, positioning LANSCE to sustain mission-critical operations through 2050 and beyond. The paper explores this integrated approach as a scalable model for other aging accelerator facilities seeking sustainment without compromising mission continuity.
