advantages of the product support alternatives? ✔✔product support value analysis
Product support analysis is conducted only at the system and component levels? ✔✔false, it can
be conducted at the system, subsystem or component level
Reliability answers which of the following questions? ✔✔How long will a system continuously
work?
Maintainability answers which of the following questions? ✔✔How long does it take to repair a
system?

perform when needed?
What are the major elements that impact a system's ability to perform its mission? ✔✔design
effectiveness; technical effectiveness; mission effectiveness
Why is the affordable system operational effectiveness concept important? ✔✔it provides a
framework for developing system performance and supportability; it is what the user sees in
terms of how well the system is able to perform its missions over a sustained period
Technical performance is realized through designed-in system functions and their corresponding
capabilities. In this context, functions refer to the desired mission abilities the system should be
capable of executing in the operational environment? ✔✔true; functions refer to the desired
mission abilities the system should be capable of executing in the operational environment
The focus of MSA phase is on identifying final plans and any critical product support capability
requirements. ✔✔false, the focus of MSA phase is on identifying the initial concept and any
critical product support capability requirements.
During the production and deployment phase what is emphasized? ✔✔managing and deploying
the initial sustainment capabilities; finalizing equipment product support packages and
maintenance plans; demonstrating the product support capabilities and effectiveness.
How many IPS elements are there? ✔✔12
The objective of the product support management IPS element is to plan and manage cost and
performance across the product support value chain, from design through disposal? ✔✔true
Which of the following will the product support management IPS element provide through the
product support manager PSM? ✔✔review of product support arrangements between the
integrators and providers; comprehensive product support strategy for the weapon system;
appropriate cost analyses to validate the product support strategy.
Proper supply support management results in having all the right spares, repair parts, and all
classes of supplies available, in the right quantities at the right place, at the right time at the right
price? ✔✔true
Maintenance planning and management establishes maintenance concepts and requirements for
the life of the system for both hardware and software? ✔✔true
Which of the following items are included on the list of basic items that need to be considered as
part of design interface? ✔✔safety requirements; affordability; anti-tamper; habitability
Which of the following does sustaining engineering in operational environments include?
✔✔evaluation of the potential for deficiency correction; development of a range of corrective
action options; determination of the relative costs and risks associated with implementation of
various corrective action options; associated root cause analyses
Computer resources include manpower, personnel, hardware, software, and documentation such
as licenses and services? ✔✔true
Facilities and infrastructure consist of only permanent real property assets and infrastructure
required to support a system? ✔✔false
The terms manpower and personnel are interchangeable? ✔✔false
Requirements for support equipment ensure that the system is available to the warfighter when it
is needed at any cost? ✔✔false, when it is needed at the lowest total ownership cost TOC.
Training is the learning process by which personnel acquires or enhances predetermined jobrelevant knowledge, skills, and abilities by developing which of the following? ✔✔physical;
cognitive; sensory abilities
Support equipment, spare parts, and operators and maintenance personnel are examples of:
✔✔life cycle costs
Which of the following integrated product support IPS element objective is "to plan and manage
cost and performance across the product support value chain, from design through disposal"?

intended function for a specified interval under the stated conditions
Which of the following Integrated Product Support (IPS) Element objective is "to plan and
manage cost and performance across the product support value chain, from design through
disposal"? ✔✔product support management
Which of the following are strategies of life cycle sustainment? ✔✔comprehensive and early
planning, development, and implementation
The Product Support Business Model (PSBM) was developed to assist the PM and PSM, who
must be tightly aligned, with the numerous supportability
considerations and trade-offs that take place during the development and fielding of a weapon
