Which of the following statements are correct? (Select all that apply.)
- Product Support Boundaries include environment and safety, and Integrated Knowledge Environment and Logistics Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) - Product Support Boundaries delineate the construct for sustainment in a single document to ensure a consistent support structure for the Warfighter. - Product Support Boundaries are designed to ensure individual weapon system support strategies fit within the DoD overall support structure for joint force and coalition operations.
Product support execution consists of: (Select all that apply.)
- Provisioning training - Provisioning personnel - Provisioning logistics
Select all responses that are true about logistics footprint:
- The logistics footprint includes personnel, supplies/equipment, land, and facilities necessary to deploy and sustain a weapon system - A large logistics footprint can adversely affect a rapid deployment and its sustainability
Choose the correct definition of maintenance concept:
A maintenance concept is a brief description of maintenance considerations, constraints, and plans for operational support of the system/equipment under development
Choose the correct description of Support Concept.
A support concept aligns resources with the maintenance concept and contains details about the individual Integrated Product Support Elements, such as the technical documentation, the needed tools, and the required steps to provide the "on-the-ground" repair and maintenance.
Support Concept
Addresses requirements for Integrated Product Support elements; Includes multiple versions for different levels of maintenance
The system design parameter of System Safety:
Addresses risks to personnel and equipment
Capability Production Documents (CPDs):
Addresses the production elements specific to a single increment of an acquisition program
Integrated Product and Process Development:
All of the choices are correct
Supportability factors include:
All of the choices are correct. - Balance of minimal and effective logistics support - Positive impact on reliability and maintainability outcomes, and efficient and effective delivery of logistics support - Outcomes defined in measurable terms to enable design verification and validation - Early integration into the acquisition process to positively influence design decisions
Systems Engineering is applied to transition from a __________ need to a (n) ____________ effective system.
Capability, operationally
Validation
Confirmation that a system element meets its Stakeholder Requirements
Choose the correct definition of Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) Analysis.
Determination of who will perform required depot maintenance
Life cycle logisticians participate in Integrated Product Teams that deal with:
Logistics, systems engineering, cost performance, and test and evaluation
Choose the proper sequence of the Defense Acquisition Process phases.
Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA), Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR), Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), Production and Deployment (P&D), Operations and Support (O&S)
Select the true statement about Parts Standardization.
Parts standardization seeks to use existing parts and equipment rather than designing, developing, and producing new parts.
The LCL must ensure that the acquisition strategy includes appropriate ___________ metrics for building __________ into the system design and developing life cycle product support strategies designed to deliver the product support package.
Performance, supportability
Logistics Footprint is the:
Size of logistics support required to deploy, sustain, and move a system
Personnel
Total number of people in the deployed area required to transport and sustain the weapon system
Volume
Total square footage of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy (fuel, oil, etc.), and spares
Weight
Total tonnage of deployable consumables, support equipment, energy (fuel, oil, etc.), and spares
Select the correct definition of trade space.
Trade space is the degree of flexibility in balancing cost, schedule, performance, and supportability requirements to meet Warfighter capabilities with affordable and supportable system designs.
Architecture Design
Translates the outputs of Requirements Definition and Analysis processes into alternate design solutions and ultimately a final design solution
