SCMG 202 Module 3 Exam, Part II
1) Which is true about the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)?
10144431 1
The WBS cannot be used by contract personnel.
The WBS is a tool that can help identify and assess technical risk.
The WBS can be used to track key performance parameters against
projected values as a system evolves over time.
The WBS can be used to track contractor performance in terms of only cost against an
established baseline.
2) As part of the life cycle product support and system engineering
processes, ____________ is used to influence design and determine the most
cost effective way to support the system.
10144476 1
Technical Performance Measures
Earned Value Management
Product Support Analyses
Parametric Cost Estimating
3) One of the benefits of using redundant back-up systems
is:
10144438 1
Increased transportability
Increased number of parts
Increased reliability
Increased size and weight
4) When applying the systems engineering process to determine
, the optimal design solution, the impact on both immediate costs and life
cycle costs needs to be considered, with the greatest weight placed on
immediate costs.
10144465 2
True
False
5) Tracking Technical Performance Measures on high-risk
components should provide:
10144434 1
Detailed program cost and schedule data
A product and process oriented framework for the Work Breakdown Structure
A baseline for preparing the technical Statement of Work Early
warning signs of potential performance problems
6) In our decision matrix, Option 1 receives a "3" for speed and a "1" for cost,
and Option 2 receives a "2" for speed and a "2" for cost. The speed criterion
has been assigned a weight of 0.4 and the cost criterion has been assigned a
weight of 0.6. In accordance with the decision matrix approach, which of the
following statements is true?
10144471 1
Option 2 is better than Option 1 because its total weighted score is higher. Option 1 and
Option 2 each score a total of 1.8; therefore, either choice is
fine.
Option 1 is better than Option 2 because its total weighted score is higher.
Option 1 is better than Option 2 because its total weighted score is lower.
7) In accordance with DoD acquisition policy and guidance, every program
should consider, at a minimum, open systems architecture, human systems
integration, _________________________.
