The Contracting Officer on the current contract for trucks tells the contractor to install special snow tires on a shipment of trucks. The Contracting Officer does not have enough time to negotiate the price up front, but she limits the Government's risk by putting a not-to-exceed price on the work.

[Distinguish between process and product structures.] Jumbled flow Batc h Assembly line Continuous flow 10) As production of an item increases, what impact does that typically have on the unit cost? [Recognize the impact of manufacturing on cost, schedule and performance.] Unit cost decreases Unit cost decreases initially, then increases Unit cost increases No impact 11) What is the typical impact on a program’s cost and schedule when unstable requirements lead to changes late in the system's development? [Identify how instability of requirements, design, and production processes impact program cost and schedule.] Significantly negative impact on cost and schedule Marginally negative impact on cost and schedule Negative impact on cost; no impact on schedule No impact on cost; negative impact on schedule 12) All of the five elements (5Ms) of manufacturing contribute to the cost of production. Which one of the following is NOT one of the 5Ms? [Recognize the considerations/concerns of the elements of manufacturing (5Ms) and how other areas are affected.] Mandate s Method s Measureme nt Machiner y 1) The Air Force needs to modify an aircraft to increase its range by 20%.
