| A VARIABLE is a characteristic of _____________________________. | anything that can be manipulated or made to vary. |
| What are the TWO VARIABLES used in developing manpower standards? | Work Load Factors (WLFs) and Man-hours (MHs) {note-looking for a causal relationship between the two variables} |
| Each ______ ______ on the line represents the intersection of an X and Y value. | data point |
| How do you show a data series that appears more than once? | Place a circle around the original data point for every time it occurs. |
| What does a scatter diagram provide? | Information about the type of relationship between variables and about the strength of that relationship. |
| What are the four (4) types of relationships between variables? | Positive/Direct Relationship Negative/Inverse Relationship / Curvilinear Relationship / No Relationship. Explain the Positive/Direct Relationship between variables? |
| Explain the Negative/Inverse Relationship between variables? | Depicts a negative or inverse relationship. As the value of X (WLF) increases, the value of Y (MH) decreases. |
| Explain the Curvilinear Relationship between variables? | Depicts a relationship between X (WLF) and Y (MH) that starts out as positive, but ends up as negative or vice versa. |
| Explain the No Relationship between variables? | When variables X and Y are unrelated, their data does not correspond and cannot be graphed in a line. Any increase in X (WLF) will have no effect on Y (MH), and vice versa. |

| In the equation Y equals a + b1 X1+b2X2+b3X3…bnXn + SIAM “b is the ________________________________” | the the ratio of variable man-hours (V) divided by the WLF counts (X) |
| In the equation Y equals a + b1 X1+b2X2+b3X3…bnXn + SIAM “SIAM is the ________________________________” | the sum of all indirect work man-hours |
| In the equation Y equals a + b1 X1+b2X2+b3X3…bnXn + SIAM “X is the ________________________________” | the value of the workload factor |
| How do you determine Total Man Hours (TMH)? | Using the equation in the AF Manpower Standard and inserting your WLF |
| What is fractional man-hours? | the number you get when you divide TMMH by MAF time OLF (OLF if applicable) |
| How do you determine total requirements? | using the applicable rounding rule for the OLF used |

| Skill and grade determination must not be affected by _______________ or ________________ and contains only _____________________________________. | eternal constraints / funding limitations / what is required to get the job done. |
| Grade and skill determination is based on four (4) assumptions. What are two of them? | two grades per skill / 33% CMS-67% SMS, 40% MSG-60% TSG, 50% SSG and SRA, 100% A1C |

| What is the first step in building a Manpower table without C & R? | determine total man-hours for each location, by adding the direct and indirect man-hours. (this is given to the lead team from each input What is the second step in building a Manpower table without C & R? |
| What is the third step in building a Manpower table without C & R? | The Lead team averages the %s received from the input teams and applies these %s to the extrapolation limits obtained from C & R |
| What is the forth step in building a Manpower table without C & R? | multiply the requirements by the % per skill level and grade and populate your Manpower table, transferring totals to the AF Form 1113 |

| If conditions fall outside those listed in the Statement of Condition (SOC), what is needed? | A Variance is necessary |
| There are three types of variances, what are they? | Mission variance / Environmental variance / Technological variance |
| Describe a Mission variance. | This variance adds man-hours to a location for required work that is not addressed in the core Process Oriented Description (POD) (positive) or subtracts man-hours for required work identified in the core POD, but not performed (negative). |
| Describe an Environmental variance. | It accounts for differences in operation conditions other than those used to develop the core standard (e.g. snow, geographical separation, etc). It is tied to the SOC. Describe a Technological variance. |
| How do you quantify increased man-hours for positive variances that have been identified? | using various measurement techniques such as operational audit or work sampling. |
| How do you compute a Negative Variance? | Compute the mean percentage value and use it to build a negative variance man-hour equation in the form of Y |
