  • Recent efforts to develop a common standard for nuclear power plants (NPPs) with the aim of creating (1) a digital environment for a better understanding of NPPs life-cycle management aspect and (2) engineering data interoperability by using existing standards among different unspecified project participants (e.g., owners/operators, engineers, contractors, equipment suppliers) during plants' life cycle process (EPC, O&M, and decommissioning). In order to meet this goal, there is a need for formulating a standardized high-level physical breakdown structure (PBS) for NPPs project management office (PMO). However, high-level PBS must be comprehensive enough and able to represent the different types of plants and the new trends of technologies in the industry. This has triggered the need for addressing the issues of the recent operational NPPs and future technologies' ramification for evaluating the changes in the NPPs physical components in terms of structure, system, and component (SSC) configuration. In this context, this ongoing study examines the recent conventional NPPs and technological trends in the development of future NPPs facilities. New reactor models regarding the overlap of variant issues of nuclear technology were explored. Finally, issues on PBS for project management are explored by the examination of the configuration of NPPs primary system. The primary systems' configuration of different reactor models is assessed in order to clarify the need for analyzing the new trends in nuclear technology and to formulate a common high-level PBS. Findings and implications are discussed for further studies.

  • The system is defined as groups which are operative, dependentive, configurational of all each others. In oner to develop the AGT system efficiently, the system engineering process has to be organized It will be started by the configuration of WBS and PBS. A WBS is a method of naming and organizing all of the wok elements to be done for a projects. It completely defines the projects, is normally prepared in an hierarchical during design and project execution. A number, or alpha-numeric identification, is assigned to every WBS elements. Also a hierachy of system physical components should be established. It named to PBS, which is a method of naming and organizing all of the physicals elements to be done far a projects. Therefore we will propose the WBS and PBS to fit for AGT system in this reports.

  • The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a primary tool which provides a framework that defines clear scope of all deliverables throughout the project life cycle. Once the WBS is established in projects, it should allow project team members to measure and manage work performances by the WBS; further, it should provide a reference point when any work scope needs to be redefined. Based on the project information in the Progress and Performance Measurement System (PPMS) of UAE's Barakha Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) projects, an attempt was made to develop a new WBS which provides hierarchical and systematical decomposition of the total work scope of NPP construction projects while avoiding from the preexistence concept in Korean NPP projects that the WBS is a combination of Physical Breakdown Structure (PBS) and Functional Breakdown Structure (FBS). The unique features of the new WBS are as follows: (1) defined the definition of each level of the WBS, (2) subdivided the WBS into 5 hierarchical levels, and (3) adopted globally used general coding structure. The new WBS provides a basic hierarchical structure for the project scope and can be used as a basic tool for schedule control, performance measurement, project status monitoring, and communication among project participants. In addition, by putting the Work Package (WP) under the WBS, the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) per WP can be utilized for the project.

  • This paper presents the result of life-cycle cost (LCC) estimation for domestic products propulsion control system (motor block unit) of KTX-1 considering periodic maintenance. Life cycle costing is one of the most effective approaches for the cost analysis of long-life systems such as the KTX-1. Life cycle costing includes the cost of concept design, development, manufacture, operation, maintenance and disposal. To estimate LCC for domestic products motor block unit, it was analyzed physical breakdown structure (PBS) on motor unit in view of maintenance cost and unit cost etc. As a results, life cycle cost on motor block unit increased moderately expect for periodical time when major parts are replaced at the same time. hereafter this results will be reflected in the domestic products being developed.

  • This paper presents about the analysis on cost factor reduction using the life cycle cost model for motor block in the KTX-1. Until now, most life cycle cost of the system as a whole that has been studied. but in case of railway industry part, LCC studies are needed on the subsystem like a propulsion control system because subsystems are developed continuously localization. Therefore, In this paper presents cost breakdown structure for life cycle cost (LCC) estimation for localization development of propulsion control system (Motor Block) in high speed railway vehicle (KTX-1). Also to analysis LCC on motor block, it was analyzed physical breakdown structure (PBS) and preventive cost on propulsion control system in view of maintenance cost. Based on this, we describe life cycle cost on motor block of KTX-1.

  • This paper estimates the life cycle cost(LCC) of a propulsion control system using the maintenance information in the high speed train(KTX-1). Life cycle costing is one of the most effective approaches for the cost analysis of long-life systems such as the KTX-1. Until now, most life cycle cost of the system has been studied as a whole system viewpoint. But in case of railway industry, LCC studies are needed on the subsystem like a propulsion control system because subsystems are developed continuously localization. This paper proposes the life cycle cost model which fitted to estimate life cycle cost (LCC) using maintenance information manual. As a result, LCC on propulsion control system increased moderately expect for periodical time when major parts are replaced at the same time. Results will be reflected in the development of domestic products.
