ATG Organization
Over the years our group has evolved into this structure. Currently we have 19 staff.
Of the 11 people that can operate, 7 have an electronics background, the rest are mechanical technologists. One supervisor is a mechanical engineer. The group head is a physicist. We have a machinist, two mechanical draftsmen (Autocad) and an inventory specialist.
Since the start of operations in 1979, we have had 7 staff leave (and 3 retirements). This low turnover rate may be due to an emphasis on safety (such as the relatively low 10 mSv / year dose limit) and employee involvement in decision making. The small group size allows us to maintain motivation and focus. Everyone knows that our job is to safely produce as much as possible and keep the machines running reliably.

Datastream MP2 - Computerized Maintenance Management System
When we decided to replace our paper and pencil system we initially tried to homebrew asystem based on standard MS Windows database and spreadsheet programs. Although weused this system for about two years we eventually abandoned the approach and decided toresearch the commercial packages. Based on an extensive review of the literature and someproduct demonstrations we decided on MP2.
Good points of MP2 (and similar) programs:- program forces database upkeep- provides traceability (FDA requirements)- powerful and flexible- provides expandability as our operations group grows- easy for technicians to enter job data
Bad points of MP2:- we often perform “opportunistic maintenance” MP2 is geared towards more rigid maintenance scheduling.- requires extensive training for “Maintenance Coordinators”
