The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development Systems is part of the acquisition process with the decision support systems of: (Select all that apply.)

- Defense Acquisition System - Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution

Parts standardization reduces costs and improves asset availability due to: (Select all that apply.)

- Enhanced interchangeability, reliability, and availability of parts - Reduced proliferation of parts and drawings - Diminished single source impacts and parts obsolescence - Promotion of commonly used industry parts

Successful application of product support development processes includes: (Select all that apply.)

- Ensuring the system is designed for supportability, and is affordable and executable - Development of the product support strategy including identification of the integrated product support elements required to sustain the system

What is the role of the life cycle logistician on an Integrated Product Team? (Select all answers that apply)

- Integrate logistics products and processes into the overall system capability - Respond to and account for changes from other functional areas that impact product support planning - Influence the system design for supportability

Using the Affordable System Operational Effectiveness chart (page 3 of 12) Select the design components that promote supportability: (Select all that apply.)

- Maintainability - Reliability - Support Features

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
