ACQ 202 / ACQ202 Module 3 Exam Part II

ACQ 202 Module 3 Exam, Part II 1) A strategy that adopts interface standards that are defined by and widely used throughout industry to facilitate the update of components with new technology is . Open systems Software-embedded systems Automated Information Systems Non-developmental items 2) shows how different parts of a system fit together from various perspectives as a system is designed and developed Virtual Prototypes Technical Performance Measure Performance Measurement Baseline Technical Review 3) Which is NOT TRUE about Systems Engineering? It ensures the lowest possible production cost and shortest program schedule. It is iteratively applied throughout a system's development. It is fundamentally a problem solving process. It addresses issues like supportability and interoperability using the Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) process. 4) Capabilities related to the support and operation of a system should be considered early and continuously in the design and development of a system Fals e True 5) Which Systems Engineering tool would be used to describe the products to be developed under the terms of the contract? Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Trade Study Technical Performance Measurement (TPM) Modeling and Simulation 6) One of the benefits of using redundant back-up systems is: Increased reliability Increased transportability Increased size and weight Increased number of parts 7) Technical Performance Measures should be selected for those parameters that Are expected to have the highest degree of risk. Will not be addressed at technical design reviews. Are expected to exceed the objectives contained in the Capability Development Document (CDD). Will not be subjected to formal test and evaluation. 8) Simulation Based Acquisition involves the integration of across functional disciplines throughout the acquisition process. Modeling and Simulation Commercial products Trade Studies Configuration Management Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Preventive Maintenance Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) 10) Reliability is how long an item or system will perform its function before it breaks. Good reliability will . Decrease logistics support requirements Increase life cycle sustainment costs Increase manpower waste Decrease system readiness 11) Using one of many Product Support Analysis tools, is a tool that examines each failure to determine and classify its effect on the entire system Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Test, Analyze, Fix, and Test (TAFT) Mean Down Time (MDT) 12) During the Operational Test (OT) effort, the purpose of validation is to determine . Whether or not we have "built the right thing" The maximum capabilities of a system achievable under unrealistic operating conditions The type and quantity of critical technical parameters to be monitored The number of test units and test ranges required for all test events 13) Human Systems Integration (HSI), a supportability issue that every program should consider, addresses such factors as accessibility, visibility, testability, and . Standardizati on Redundanc y Return on investment Mean logistics delay time 14) In the process of conducting design considerations, a program's systems engineers are deciding from among Components A, B, and C. All three components meet performance requirements. Component C has the highest initial cost; however, due to its superior reliability, it is projected to lead to lower life cycle costs than Components A and B in the long run, and this will help meet the program's affordability goals. This is adequate justification for the team to select Component C. Fals e True 15) In our decision matrix, Option 1 receives a "3" for reliability and a "2" for cost, and Option 2 receives a "1" for reliability and a "3" for cost. The reliability criterion has been assigned a weight of 0.4 and the cost criterion has been assigned a weight of 0.6. In accordance with the decision matrix approach, which of the following statements is true? Option 1 is better than Option 2 because its total weighted score is higher. Option 2 is better than Option 1 because its total weighted score is higher. Option 2 is better than Option 1 because its total weighted score is lower. Option 1 and Option 2 each score a total of 2.5, therefore, either choice is fine. 16) The Affordable System Operational Effectiveness (ASOE) concept places emphasis on the system's ability to execute its mission, its reliability and maintainability, and . Cost-effective responsiveness of the supply chain Limiting the need for Software-embedded systems Automated Information Systems Use of Commercial/Non-developmental items 17) When making tradeoffs among competing features, what can be used to quantifiably compare alternatives by selecting, weighting, and applying criteria? Decision matrix Least squares regression analysis Delphi technique Parametric modeling
