Question | Answer |
---|---|
What items are kept current as an objective of the MEP? | Manpower standards and models |
Which MEP tool is the AF approved methodology for developing manpower quantification models? | The AFMS |
When should you not consider using the management advisory study methodology of the MEP? | When you need a method to quantify manpower for the purpose of programming future requirements |
When determining the feasibility of a manpower study effort based on the decision questions, you as the ME discover that the function will allow for ease of next phases. What are you assessing? | Degree of standardization |
In the MEP, how can you capture manpower with an AFMS when you discover that only slight differences exist between input locations? | Develop a variance |
What consideration are you addressing during the feasibility phase of a manpower study effort, when you identify several unique FAA directives that establish unique workload? | External Mandates |
What practice prevents the possibility that one position will be studied under two or more AFMS study efforts? | Baseline Tagging |
During the initial baseline review, inconsistencies are forwarded to which agency for resolution prior to workload measurement? | HAF Resources Requirements Division |
The first MRS is set to begin an AFMS study effort on the CE function. What document is used to define the study purpose, deliverables, scope, and application? | MOA |
What comprehensive research method can be used to answer many initial questions before conducting an onsite visit? | Documentation Review |
During the documentation review, where do you check the defined workload drivers of the function under study? | Manpower Standards |
During documentation review, where do you look to uncover information regarding current and projected events concerning a function under study? | Organizational or functional websites |
During documentation review, which documentation contains the CDCs of the function under study? | Specialty training materials |
During documentation review, who validates assigned military and civilian end strength information? | Workcenter Supervisor |
Encountering personnel that withhold valuable information is a disadvantage associated with which method of obtaining information? | Personal interviews |
When gathering information, which skill level provides the best information about the processes and activities done in the work center? | 5 Level |
When conducting an onsite observation, what must you not do? | Avoid prolonged observation |
During the study design phase, who would you not allow to conduct the measurements needed to determine appropriate manhours? | Functional Community |
In the study design phase, non measurement approaches tend to be more expensive due to what? | Less efficient requirement methodologies |
One of the ways the workshop measurement is used in the study design phase is to what? | Develop a process oriented description (POD) |
When preparing for a measurement workshop, when selecting participants, you must get a good mix of individuals from officer, enlisted and civilians why? | Participants from each group bring a different set of values to the workshop |
During the study design phase, participants consensus, fewer scheduling issues, and less TDY travel are all benefits of what? | Field measurement |
During the study design phase, which part of the MEASPLAN outline contains a narrative description of conditions that affects the way work is performed? | Measurement instructions |
When developing potential WLFs during the study design phase, what is an example of a work unit? | Number of tires changed |
When developing potential WLFs during the study design phase, the work unit is not used when? | Building a correlation and regression model |
When does potential WLF identification begin? | During study design and measurement activities |
What is the first step in the procedures for identifying potential WLFs for measurement? | Identifying work units not controlled by the function under study |
What is an example of an AF approved WLF? | Flying hours logged |
What method is used to document processes and work activities for all production oriented work centers? | Process flow charts |
When building a POD, what is an acceptable activity title for a process step? | Repairs Engine |
If you write steps in a POD in the plural form to cover as much work as possible, what happens? | Increase the chance of error in the associated unit time values |
What time classification category represents the basis for all other man hours per month? | Assigned |
What work is validated and is required by a MAJCOM or higher directive? | Direct |
What measurement method is a widely used and flexible work measurement method that can be used to set standards in any type of work center? | Operational Audit |
Which technique can you use to determine PAT when the measurement method employed is an OA? | Technical Estimate |
When using the good operator technique to determine PAT, when do you not need pace rating? | When you have selected an average individual |
During an OA, what method would you use to determine the PAT when it is affected by varying levels of compexity? | Weighted Average |
During an OA, which method would you us synthesized task man hour values to determine the PAT? | Standard Data |
What non measurement method involves running developed models using differing constraints to determine the best mix of resource costs and level of service obtained? | Simulation modeling |
Process simulation begins when you the ME identify what? | Work Unit |
What organization is responsible for maintaining, modifying, documenting, distributing, and implementing the LCOM software? | AFMAA |
In simulation modeling, when considering queuing, how are costs as morale defined? | Intangible |
When computing minimum manpower requirements, what do you calculate to account for work that individuals do before position coverage starts? | Position related time |
How does the ME show the manager how to meet the needed performance standards? | Minimum standby time |
What is a measurement method that recognizes the long standing use of manpower and standard operating procedures where some factor other than traditional workload dictates requirements? | Whole manpower |
What whole manpower method captures a requirement that lacks any mathematical relationships to a workload driver and is not affected by varying workload volume? | Constant manpower |
What is the term for the uncertainty that a particular event will occur? | Probability |
One value occurs more often than any other value, what is it? | Mode |
