Q

Firm Fixed Price Contracts

(FFP)

A
  • Most commonly used contract type
  • Price for goods is set at the beginning of the engagement and not subject ot change unless scope changes

Q

Fixed Price Incentive Fee Contracts

(FPIF)

A
  • Allows for deviation from performance
  • Gives flexibility for buyer and seller to have incentives tied to acheiving objectives early
  • Performance targets set at the beginning
  • Price ceiling is set, and all costs above it are the responsibility of the seller

Q

Cost Plus Incentive Fee

(CPIF)

A
  • Reimbursed for all allowable costs, receives a pre-determined incentive fee based on acheiving certain performance objectives
  • If there is a difference in final costs, both the buyer and seller share the overages or under nby a negotiated percentage according to a cost sharing forumla

Q

Procurement Documents

A
  • Request for Information (RFI)
  • Invitation for Bid (IFB)
  • Request for Proposal (RFP)
  • Request for Quotation (RFQ)
17
Q

Possible Source Selection Criteria

A
  • Understanding of need
  • Overall or life-cycle cost
  • Technical capability
  • Risk
  • Management Approach
  • Technical Approach
  • Warranty
  • Financial Capacity
  • Production Capacity and interest
  • Business size and type
  • Past performance of sellers
  • Intecllectual Propeerty Rights
  • Proprietary Rights
18
Q

Bidder Conferences

A
  • Used before submittal of a bid or proposal
  • Meetings with tbe buyer and all potential sellers to ensure common understanding
  • Example: Supplier summit meeting from AGS
19
Q

Risk Appetite

A
  • degree of uncertainty an entity is willing to take on in anticiaption of a reward
20
Q

Risk Tolerance

A
  • Degree, amount, or volume of risk that an organization or individual will withstand
    *
21
Q

Risk Threshold

A
  • measures along the level of uncertainty ir the level of impact at which a stakeholdr may have a specific interest
  • Below the threshold, they will accept the risk
  • Above the threshold, they will not tolerate the risk
22
Q

Delphi Technique

A
  • Way to reach a concensus of experts
  • Participate anonymously
  • Use a quesitionairre to solicit ideasabout important risks
  • ideas are consolidated then recirculated to the experts
  • Helps to redues bias in the data
23
Q

Root-Cause Analysis

A
  • USed to identify a problem or to discover the underlying cause that lead to it, and develop preventative action
24
Q

Risk Diagramming Techniques

A
  • Cause and Effect Diagrams
  • System or process flow charts
  • influence diagrams
25
Q

Checklist Analsysis

A
  • Use of a checklist for risks from historical information
  • Should not be used in place or proper risk management
  • Would likely be used for very repeatable projects and processes
26
Q

Risk Cause and Effect Diagrams

A
  • Also known as fishbone diagrams
27
Q

Risk System or process flow charts

A
  • how various elements of a system interrelate and the mechanism of causation
28
Q

Qualitative Risk Assessment Tools and Techniques

A
  • Risk proabability and Impact Assessment
  • Probability and Impact Matrix
  • Risk Data Quality Assessment
  • Risk Categorization
  • Risk Urgency Assessment
29
Q

Risk probability and impact assessment

A
  • looking at the prbability and impact on each risk
  • Think of the traditional risk log
30
Q

Probability and impact matrix

A
  • Risk rating rules usually pre-defined
  • matrix to score each risk based on probability and impact
  • Color scales may be used to identify high, medium, low risk based on organizational rules
  • Risk Scores help to determine priority of action and response
31
Q

Qualitative Risk Analysis Techniques

A
  • Data Gathering and Representation Techniques
    • Interviewing
    • Probability Distributions
  • Modeling Techniques
    • Sensitivity Analysis
    • Expected Monetary Value (EMV) Analysis
    • Modeling and Simulation
32
Q

Data Gathering: Interviwewing

A
  • drawing on historical data
  • Estimasting risk based on low, most likely, and high estaimtes
33
Q

Modelling and Simulation

A
  • translates the specificed uncertainties into their potential impact on project objectives
  • Typically performed using the Monte Carlo technique
34
Q

Mitigate

A
  • Negative risk response sterategy in which the project team acts to minimize the probability of occurance or impact of a risk
  • Examples include:
    • adopting less complex processes
    • conducting more tests
    • choosing a more stable supplier
    • designing redundancy into a system
35
Q

Contingent Response Plan

A
  • Risk response plan that will only be executed if certain conditions occur
36
Q

Rolling Wave Planning

A
  • An iterative planning technique in which the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail, while the work in the future is planned at a higher level
  • Example: CSX Phase 1A vs. Phase 1B
