4Question 4.
True or False: Job efficiency must always be considered when calculating productivity.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider why machines don't run the entire hour.
Question 5.
A bulldozer is assigned a project requiring it to move material over varying slopes. If the push time varies across conditions, how would you utilize this information to optimize operational output?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what types of adjustments in operation could reduce push time.
Question 6.
When using production curves, you notice a discrepancy between estimated and actual performance. What factors could account for this variance, and how could you adjust your estimates accordingly?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the external conditions that might alter expected productivity.
