Steve Suhring - WAO'98 Abstract The methods of maintenance, repair, and upgrades to the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia, USA will be presented. The approach used is based upon a two-week run cycle followed by a one shift maintenance period. The rationale and results of this approach will be discussed and a brief look at the maintenance structure will be shown. Means for improving machine availability will be presented including record keeping of downtime, compilation of data, dissemination of findings, and allocation of resources.
