(P^7 O^5 T^11 A^2)
Formality in the execution of any SE project is driven by... - Answers- -Need for
communication
-Level of uncertainty
-degree of complexity
-consequences to human welfare
Definition of specialty engineering - Answers- analysis of specific features of a system
that requires special skills to identify requirements and assess their impact on that
system life cycle
What is specialty engineering analysis methods based on - Answers- The construction
and exploration of models
what are the two types of logistics - Answers- -Acquisition Logistics
-Operational Logistics
What does acquisition logistics focus on - Answers- influencing the design of a system
and its readiness for utilization and support - ensure supportability implications are
considered early and throughout the acquisition process
What does operational logistics focus on? - Answers- ensuring the right materiel and
resources, in the right quantity and quality are available at the right place at the right
time throughout the utilization and support stages (supply chain management)
When are strategies and tactical plans developed for ILS? - Answers- established as
part of the agreement processes
,What are the 3 categories of availability - Answers- -operational availability
-Inherent availability
-Measured availability
What is operational availability - Answers- Includes logistics and administrative delay
times that are not typically under the control of suppliers
What is inherent availability? - Answers- Includes only the "built-in" reliability and
maintainability characteristics of the item under analysis
What is measured availability? - Answers- requires the effective measurement of
failures, their cause and the subsequent restorative action (maintenance). This also
requires that effective measurement process and systems are in place that are
acceptable to the user acquirer and supplier stakeholders as part of an agreed feedback
process
What is dependability - Answers- A summaryizing denomination for reliability,
availability, maintainability, and supportability
Analyses that are performed iteratively and recursively as they are codependent on
other analyses - Answers- -FMECA
-Level of repair analysis
-log support analysis
-reliability centered maintenance
,-Survivabilty analysis
-System Security Analysis
What does the Level of repair analysis decide? - Answers- if the element or system
should be discarded or repaired
Logistics support analysis is... - Answers- structured method of analyzing the support
implications of system elements as they are being developed, with the aim of identifying
features of the design that could result in excessive expense during the operational life.
Reliability Centered Maintenance Analysis is... - Answers- performed to assess the
most cost efficient preventive maintenance program for the system.
When should Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) be initiated? - Answers- Very
early in the development stage, but it evolves throughout the production stage
What does system security analysis do? - Answers- -ID and evaluates system
vulnerabilities to known or postulated security threats
-recommends means to eliminate the vulnerabilities or reduce the susceptibility to an
acceptable level of risk
Define Cost-effective analysis - Answers- The comparison of the relative spending and
outcomes associated with two or more courses of action
Cost-As-An-Independent-Variable - Answers- builds on cost-effectiveness studies to
determine an objective cost for the system acquisition.
Define Interoperability - Answers- The compatibility of elements of a large and complex
system to work as a single entity
Define Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCC) - Answers- A method of economic evaluation
which takes into account all relevant costs of a system over a given period of time,
adjusting for differences in the timing of those costs.
Benefits of Life Cycle Cost analysis (LLC) - Answers- -All costs associated with a
system become visible
-Supports an analysis of enterprise interrelationships
-Reinforces the importance of locked in costs
-Project managers can develop accurate revenue predictions
Methods of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis - Answers- -Expert Judgment
-Analogy
-Parkinson Technique
-Price-To-Win
-Top-Down
-Bottom-Up
LLC recommended activities - Answers- -define system
-determine total quantities
-obtain life cycle schedule
-obtain manpower estimates for each phase
-Obtain overhead costs and fees
-develop cost estimate for each subsystem for each stage
-document results
What does manufacturing and producibility analysis do? - Answers- -Determine if
existing proven processes are satisfactory
-Reduce risk, manufacturing cost, lead time, and cycle time and to minimize strategic or
critical materials use.
-Identify critical producibility requirements during system analysis and design
-Include in the program risk analysis, if necessary
Mass Properties Engineering Analysis - Answers- To assure that the system or system
element has the appropriate mass properties to meet the requirements
Properties of Mass - Answers- -Weight
-Location of center of gravity
-Inertia about the center of gravity
-Product of the inertia about an axis
Objective of Safety & Health Hazard Analysis - Answers- To ensure that the system
meets an accepted level of safety and health risk
When does the safety program begin? - Answers- Conceptual stage and continues
throughout the system life cycle
What safety items are completed in the concept stage? - Answers- -Establish safety
objectives
-Initial Hazard analysis
What safety items are completed in the development stage? - Answers- -Updated
hazard analysis
-Safety verification
What safety items are completed in the production stage? - Answers- System safety
assessment and certification
