QuestionAnswer
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
What statistical measure is the average of a statistical sample? Mean
What statistical measure do you not use to calculate the measure of dispersion for a sample population? Variance
What have you calculated when you subtract the highest from the lowest in a population sample? Range
What represents the slope in the equation Y=a+bX? b
The linear equation Yc= a + bX is realistic when what? b is greater than or equal to 0 and a is not considered
What test would you use to determine if the individual coefficients of an equation are significantly different from zero? T-test
What type of computational method would you use to develop a standard with a population consisting of two to six locations? Ratio unit times equation
What man hour type is directly tied to processes and increases or decreases with selected work unit volumes? Variable
During what phase are the skill distribution percentages determined for each step in the POD? Data Analysis
What are the recommended grade percentages for the 7 skill level? 40 percent TSgt and 60 percent SSgt
What is not a manpower standard variance category? Mechanical
Who approves manpower standard variances that apply to more than one MAJCOM during an AFMS development effort? Air Staff
What part of the FINREP can help explain how the distribution of skills and grades were determined for the MANTAB? Data Analysis and computation summary
What report the lead team prepares includes enough information for the client to carry out recommendations? Management Advisory Study
A MAS follows the AFMS process if which CC signs the MOU? AFMAA
