| Abstract | The Configuration Management of the LHC and its injectors ensures a clear and coherent representation of the CERN accelerators at a given point in time. It has been evolving steadily. The methodology has been continuously improved, incorporating best practices and was also extended to the injectors to face the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) with a set of rigorous and homogenised processes for the entire accelerator complex. Lessons learnt from the LS2 provide a strong basis to further improve the effectiveness of the change management process.This paper describes the action plan, concerning the processes and engineering tools, to further improve configuration management efficiency to face the numerous changes foreseen during the Long Shutdown 3 (LS3), with principally the equipment installation foreseen by the HL-LHC project. In addition, it reports on the smooth transition between the LHC and HL-LHC configuration teams to ensure the long-term operation and maintenance of the LHC. |
