The most commonly used way to determine the manpower impact in a support agreement annex is to
-
Apply the applicable Air Force manpower standard(s)
-
Use the major command manpower data
-
Use the supplier supper data
-
Conduct a work study
Correct Answer
A. Apply the applicable Air Force manpower standard(s)Explanation
The correct answer is to apply the applicable Air Force manpower standard(s). In a support agreement annex, the manpower impact is typically determined by using the manpower standards set by the Air Force. These standards outline the expected levels of manpower required for various tasks and responsibilities. By applying these standards, the organization can accurately assess the manpower needs and ensure that the support agreement is aligned with the Air Force's guidelines and requirements.

You would consider using the time study work measurement method to evaluate a work center that is
-
Nonrepetitive
-
Highly standardized
-
Varied in job completion from short to long durations
-
Multiple workstation dependent to complete the work
Correct Answer
A. Highly standardizedExplanation
The time study work measurement method would be suitable for evaluating a work center that is highly standardized because this method involves observing and timing the tasks performed by workers to determine the standard time required to complete each task. In a highly standardized work center, the tasks are likely to be repetitive and have a consistent method of completion, making it easier to accurately measure and analyze the time taken for each task. This method would not be as effective for nonrepetitive work centers or those with varied job completion durations or multiple workstations involved.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. LinearExplanation
When developing a functional estimating equation for a major command functional area, a linear equation is used. A linear equation is a mathematical equation with the highest power of the variable being 1. It represents a straight line when graphed and is commonly used to model relationships between variables that have a constant rate of change. In the context of functional estimating, a linear equation would be appropriate for estimating the relationship between inputs and outputs in a major command functional area.Rate this question:

A management engineering calculated 162 total monthly man-hours of a new work at a sheet metal shop on Macdill AFB. The shop performs a 40-hour workweek and the additional 7.7 percent is applied, as required How many additional requirements would the shop receive?
-
1
-
2
-
3
-

Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The management engineering calculated a total of 162 monthly man-hours for the new work. Since the shop operates on a 40-hour workweek, the additional 7.7 percent is applied to account for the extra requirements. To determine how many additional requirements the shop would receive, we need to calculate 7.7 percent of 40 hours. 7.7 percent of 40 is approximately 3.08. Since the answer choices are whole numbers, the shop would receive 3 additional requirements. However, since the question asks for the number of additional requirements, the correct answer is 2.Rate this question:

In the Functional estimating equation process. which manpower requirements method computes the entire amount of the total manpower requirement for a function program?
-
Scratch
-
Zero-based
-
Incremental
-
Program estimating
Correct Answer
A. Zero-basedExplanation
Zero-based manpower requirements method computes the entire amount of the total manpower requirement for a function program. This method starts from scratch and requires a detailed analysis of each function and task within the program, without considering any previous levels of manpower. It ensures that all manpower needs are justified and eliminates any unnecessary positions or tasks. This approach is useful when there is a need for a complete reassessment of manpower requirements and when there is a desire to optimize resource allocation.Rate this question:

-
Time study
-
Work sampling
-
Queuing analysis
-
Operational audit
Correct Answer
A. Time studyExplanation
Time study is the correct answer because it is a work measurement method that is used primarily to measure operations that are repetitive, of short duration, and done at one workstation. Time study involves observing and timing the tasks involved in a particular job to determine the standard time required to complete it. This method is commonly used in industries to establish work standards, improve efficiency, and set fair compensation for workers. Work sampling, queuing analysis, and operational audit are not specifically designed for measuring repetitive, short-duration tasks at one workstation.Rate this question:

Increased manpower costs resulting from the implementation of an Air Force manpower standard are funded by
-
Existing command resources
-
Additional resources from HQ USAF
-
Increases addressed in next fiscal year
-
Reallocation of resources between the involved commands
Correct Answer
A. Existing command resourcesExplanation
The correct answer is "existing command resources." This means that the increased manpower costs resulting from the implementation of an Air Force manpower standard are funded by the resources that the command already has. This suggests that the command will allocate its existing budget and resources to cover the additional costs, rather than seeking additional funding from other sources such as HQ USAF or waiting for increases in the next fiscal year. It implies that the command will prioritize and reallocate its existing resources to meet the manpower requirements.Rate this question:

-
Joint use
-
Consolidation
-
Reimbursable
-
Functional duplication
Correct Answer
A. Functional duplicationExplanation
Functional duplication is the applicable support arrangement when there is a physical separation of activities or a mobility requirement dictates its use. This means that there are duplicate functions or services provided in multiple locations or by multiple entities to ensure that support is available in different areas or for mobile operations. This arrangement is necessary to maintain operational effectiveness and meet the specific needs of the situation.

You would consider using the work sampling measurement method to measure a work center that has
-
Very few workers
-
Standardizes work
-
Highly repetitive tasks
-
Many workers in a small area
Correct Answer
A. Many workers in a small areaExplanation
The work sampling measurement method would be suitable for measuring a work center with many workers in a small area because this method involves taking random observations of work activities over a period of time. With many workers in a small area, it would be easier to observe and record their activities at different intervals. This method is particularly effective for tasks that are highly repetitive and standardized, as it allows for a representative sampling of the work being performed. Additionally, the method is cost-effective and less intrusive compared to other measurement methods, making it ideal for a work center with limited resources.Rate this question:

The work sampling measurement method is most effective when work centers have all of the following except?
-
Narrow job responsibilities
-
Nonrepetitive or irregular work
-
Many different processes of work
-
Many workers in a relatively small area
Correct Answer
A. Narrow job responsibilitiesExplanation
The work sampling measurement method is most effective when work centers have many different processes of work, nonrepetitive or irregular work, and many workers in a relatively small area. However, it is not effective when work centers have narrow job responsibilities. This is because work sampling requires observing a representative sample of work activities, and if the job responsibilities are narrow, there may not be enough variety in the tasks being performed to obtain an accurate representation of the overall work.Rate this question:
