CSMP prep guide can be found - ANSWER At your servicing MLC
Measures Contractors Performance - ANSWER Statement of Work
The element-by-element examination of estimated or actual costs and proposed
profit - ANSWER Cost analysis
Method of contracting that employs competitive bids, public openings of bids, and
ultimate award of a fixed-price contract - ANSWER Sealed bidding
, Procedure used by contracting officer that includes receipt of proposal from offers
permits bargaining, and usually affords an opportunity to revise offers before
contract and modification - ANSWER Negotiations

priority
Items required to maintain operational capability involve cutter or personnel safety
or is required by directives - ANSWER High priority
Extended maintenance period that has been planned for the accomplishment of
major repairs and maintenance - ANSWER Availability
Items that improve the efficiency of the vessel or improve habitability. May be
postponed w/ out affecting operational capability or reliability - ANSWER Low
priority
, Technical document that describes the min. Ship-specific work requirements in
clear, concise, well-defined, and contractually sound terms - ANSWER Well-
written ship work specification
Legally binding contractual document that is the key piece of evidence identifying
what work the government requires the ship manager to accomplish on prime/ sub
contractors... and the repair contractor to accomplish under Invitation for Bid (IFB)
type contractors - ANSWER A specification
Used to initiate the specifications for a specific work item - ANSWER CSMP
Simulation - ANSWER is the process of designing a model of a real system and
conducting experiments with this model, with the objective of estimating measures
of effectiveness, understanding system behavior, and evaluating alternative
strategies
Model - ANSWER is a representation of a real-world entity but not the "real
thing" itself, used to simplify and study systems
Physical models - ANSWER resemble the system being studied, such as full-
scale mockups used for training
Scaled models - ANSWER resemble the system under study but at a different
size, such as a scaled model of an atom
, Analog models - ANSWER represent a property of a real object using a
substituted property that behaves similarly, such as using voltage to represent flow
in a system
Schematic model - ANSWER is a pictorial representation of a system, such as
blueprints or graphs
Games or man-machine models - ANSWER include management games, war
games, and planning or competition models involving human interaction
Simulation models - ANSWER are abstract models, such as algorithms or
computer programs that represent systems without human interaction
Mathematical models - ANSWER use symbols to represent entities and are
highly generalized, though they risk oversimplification
Heuristic model - ANSWER is a collection of descriptors or decision rules,
usually computer-based, not limited by physical or mathematical structures
Concrete models - ANSWER are physical representations such as two-
dimensional blueprints or three-dimensional scaled objects
Abstract models - ANSWER are analytical or theoretical representations such
as formulas, numerical simulations, or scientific theories
