When does the PM have to prepare a SEP?

Back 3

At each milestone, staring with MS-A

Front 4

What is Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD)?

Back 4

an IPPD is a management technique that simultaneously integrates all essential acquisition activities through IPTs to optimize the design, manufacturing and supportability processes

Front 5

what is a key tenant of IPPD?

Back 5

multidisciplinary teamwork thorugh IPTs

Front 6

what are the three types of IPT?

Back 6

Overarching Integrated Product Team (OIPT), Integrating Integrated Product Team (llPT), Working Level Integrated Product Team (WIPT)

Front 7

What are the two groups of system engineering processes?

Back 7

Technical Management and Techinical Processes

Front 8

What is Technical Planning?

Back 8

Activities that ensure that the systems engineering processes are applied property throughout a system's life cyle, addresses the scope of the technical effort required to develop the system

Front 9

What is decisions Analysis?

Back 9

It provides the basis for evaluation and selecting alternatives when decisions need to be made criteria for decisions and methods of analysis

Front 10

What is requirements management?

Back 10

It provides traceability back to user-defined capabilities as documented through the JCIDS, document all changes to those requirements, and record rational for the changes

Front 11

What is Technical Assessment?

Back 11

Technical Assessment activities measure technical progress and the effectiveness of plans and requirements

Front 12

What is Configuration Management?

Back 12

Configuration Management efforts result in a complete audit trail of decision and design modifacations

Front 13

What is Data Management Process?

Back 13

Data management consists of the disciplined processes and systems used to plan for, acquire, access, manage, protect, and use data of a technical nature

Front 14

What is Interface Management Process?

Back 14

It ensures interface definition and compliance among the elements that compose the system and other systems with which the system must inter-operate

Front 15

What is the Requirements Analysis Process?

Back 15

Requirements Analysis encompasses the definition and refinement of system, subsystem, and lower-level functional and performance requirements

Front 16

What is the Stakeholder Requirements Definition Process?

Back 16

A process that translates customer needs into: Performance parameter objectives and thresholds, • Affordability constraints, • Schedule constraints, and
• Technical constraints

Front 17

What is the Architectural Design Process?

Back 17

lt translates the outputs of the Stakeholder Requirements Definition and Requirements Analysis processes into alternative design solutions and selects a final design solution

Front 18

What is the Verification Process?

Back 18

It confirms that the system element meets the design-to or build-to specifications, It answers the question “Did you build it right?”

Front 19

What is the Implementation Process?

Back 19

The process that actually yields the lowest level system elements in the system hierarchy

Front 20

What is the Validation Process?

Back 20

It answers the question”is it the right solution to the problem?”

Front 21

What is the Transition Process?

Back 21

he process applied to move the system element to the next level in the physical architecture or, for the end-item system, to the user

Front 22

What is system-of-systems (SoS) engineering?

Back 22

It deals with planning, analyzing, organizing, and integrating the capabilities of a mix of existing and new systems into a SoS having capability greater than the sum of the capabilities of the constituent parts

Front 23

What is family-of-systems (FoS) engineering?

Back 23

A family of systems is basically a grouping of systems having some common characteristics

Front 24

When does the EMD phase begin?

Back 24

EMD begins at MS-B, which is normally the initiation of an acquisition program

Front 25

What document does the PM prepare for MS-B?

Back 25

For MS-B the PM prepares, and the MDA approves, an AS to guide activity during EMD

Front 26

What is LRIP?

Back 26

- completion of manufacturing development in order to ensure manufacturing capability,
- provide articles for IOT&E,
- establish an initial production base, and
- permit an orderly increase in the production rate

Front 27

What is FRIP criteria?

Back 27

An MDAP may not proceed beyond LR!P without MDA approval demonstrated control of the manufacturing process and acceptable reliability

Front 28

What is Disposal?

Back 28

At the end of useful life, a system shall be demilitarized and disposed-of in accordance with all legal and regulatory requirements related to safety and the environment

Front 29

What kind of task does the PM face with the myriad of considerations and management tools to translate the user's desired capabilities

Back 29

It ts an iterative task, performed within the framework of Systems Engineering to achieve the "best value" for the user

Front 30

What is Standardization?

Back 30

Standardization advances interoperability through commonality of systems, subsystems, components, equipment, data, and architectures

Front 31

What is the consideration for using COTS?

Back 31

Use of commercial items offers significant opportunities for reduced development time faster Insertion of
new technology, and lower life cycle costs, owing to a more robust industrial base

Front 32

What is the design consideration for Quality?

Back 32

The quality of products or services Is determined by the extent they meet {or exceed} requirements and
satisfy the customer{s), at an affordable cost

Front 33

What is a Systems Engineering Plan?

Back 33

The SEP is a detailed formula of actions that should guide the technical aspects of a program

Front 34

When should a PM establish a SEP?

Back 34

Early in the program formulation, and update it at each subsequent MS
