| Data Analysis and Computation determines the ________ of a relationship between _______ and ______. | strength, manhours and workload |
| In what phase do we use correlation and regression analysis to develope tools needed for creating the equation and manpower table? | data analysis and computation |
| The determintion of the man-hours and the workload for the particular function is a part of which phase? | Measurement Design |

| What is created in the planning phase? Who provides the information? | POD, SOC and PLWF; functional community |
| What are the 2 bottom lines to creating a manpower standard? | Determine manpower requirements and justify to congress why we need more or less funding for authorizations. (Authorization=sourced=funded) |
| What is the first thing you need to accomplish when using the 7 step model? | Familiarization |
| What are some steps you can perform to conduct familiarization | Review UMD, Baseline Authorized, Required, Assigned and Wartime. (Should be done ASAP) |
| What information will serve as the straw man POD? (Process Oriented Description) | AFIs, AFMS reports and historical data. |
| Who do you contact before performing a study, to verify it doesn’t conflict with an A-76 study? | AFMA/MAC |
| What are the 7 steps of the 7 step model in order? | Project definition, Plan, As-Is, Opportunity research, To-Be, Coordinate/Approve, Implement |
| What is the purpose of step 1 of the 7 step model? | Project definition:Announce Study/site visit, AFMA educates functional team on processes & functional team educates AFMA on their want/need /level of urgency. End result; Memorandum of Agreement(MOA) understood/agreed upon by AFMA and functional community |
| What is the purpose of step 2 of the 7 step model? | Plan: Apply familiarization and project definition data to the MOA. Identify order of steps for timeline and identify/solicit work shop participants. |
| What is the purpose of step 3 of the 7 step model? | As-Is:develop/refine strawman POD with associated frequencies/per accomplishment times (PATs), measure As-Is required workload, identifies/specifies additional staffing initiatives (changes) and identifies high-cost/high-value processes. |

| How is the process title written? | In noun form or an adjective followed by a noun form |
| How is the step title written? | In single unit form with verbs in third person singular (pumps gas) |
