Pharmacology Exam: RN.(Graded A)

The Air Force needs to modify an aircraft to increase its range by 20%. This improvement in performance will entail extensive developmental testing as well as independent operational testing. The production line for this aircraft shut down six months ago. What type of appropriation should be used to pay for the development and testing of this product improvement? [Identify the proper DoD Appropriation Category to be used for each of the phases of a Product Improvement Program.] Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Procureme nt Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Expired funds 2) ________duties are tailored at the request of the Program Manager (PM) and are written in the Memorandum of Agreement, signed by both the PM and the Contract Administration Office (CAO) Commander (Please note the CAO Commander was previously referred to as the Contract Management Office (CMO) Commander). [Identify the relationship between the Program Management Office, the Procuring Contracting Officer, Administrative Contracting Officer, and Program Integrator.] Program Integrator Program Support Team Administrative Contracting Officer Procuring Contracting Officer 3) When both parties agree to definitize a contract change before the work is begun, the change is made contractually through a __________. [Contrast a Change Order with a Supplemental Agreement.] Supplemental Agreement Constructive Change Change Order None of the answers are correct 4) Which of the following is NOT lawful authority and can be a cause of unauthorized commitments? [Identify the causes and consequences of constructive changes and unauthorized commitments.] Apparent Authority Evident Authority Critical Authority Rightful Authority 5) Process proofing ensures that high risk areas, such as assembly methods and personnel training, are optimized _______________________. [Identify methods of controlling manufacturing costs (e.g., process proofing, variability reduction, and statistical process control).] Before the start-up of full rate production Before system integration is complete Before initial operational capability (IOC) is achieved Before entering the Operations and Support phase 6) Lean manufacturing tends to increase manufacturing costs and delay schedules in the manufacturing process. [Recognize the value of Lean Manufacturing.] True Fals e 7) The cost of achieving quality can be broken down into which THREE of the following areas (Select three answers): [Recognize the value of the Cost of Quality.] Apprais al Containme nt Failur e Preventio n Assuranc e 8) According to learning curve theory, when the quantity of an item produced doubles, the labor hours required to produce the item _______. [Identify where and when learning curve theory is applied.] Decrease by a fixed percentage Increase at a variable rate Remain constant at the unit level Vary in proportion to the five elements of manufacturing 9) Which process is recommended for those products with the lowest volume and the lowest standardization on the product continuum? [Distinguish between process and product structures.] Jumbled flow Batc h Assembly line Continuous flow 10) As production of an item increases, what impact does that typically have on the unit cost? [Recognize the impact of manufacturing on cost, schedule and performance.] Unit cost decreases Unit cost decreases initially, then increases Unit cost increases No impact 11) What is the typical impact on a program’s cost and schedule when unstable requirements lead to changes late in the system's development? [Identify how instability of requirements, design, and production processes impact program cost and schedule.] Significantly negative impact on cost and schedule Marginally negative impact on cost and schedule Negative impact on cost; no impact on schedule No impact on cost; negative impact on schedule 12) Manpower, measurement, methods, machinery, and materials are collectively referred to as the ___________________. [Recognize the considerations/concerns of the elements of manufacturing (5Ms) and how other areas are affected.] 5Ms of Manufacturing Elements of Production 5Ms of Industry 5Ms of Engineering Module 5 Exam (contains 12 questions)  Here is your test result.The dots represent the choices you have made.  The highlighted questions are the questions you have missed.  Remediation Accessed shows whether you accessed those links.'N' represents links not visited and 'Y' represents visited links. 1.) In determining the correct appropriation for funding the development of a product improvement, the first/primary consideration is: Will it increase the performance capability? Is the system still in production? Will the operator install the modification? Will the same contractor produce the item? 2.) Which of the following are duties of a Program Integrator (Select all that apply)? Administering day to day contractual activities after contract award Has a direct line of communication with the Procuring Contracting Officer "Eyes and ears" of the Program Manager Provide data to the Program Manager Lead and direct the program support team 3.) The Army has an urgent requirement for trucks that can operate under arctic conditions. The Contracting Officer on the current contract for trucks tells the contractor to install special snow tires on a shipment of trucks. The Contracting Officer does not have enough time to negotiate the price up front, but she limits the Government's risk by putting a not-to-exceed price on the work. This is an example of what kind of modification?
