Q

DIRECT LABOR?

A

Direct labor includes all labor expended directly on assigned construction tasks, either in the field or in the shop,
which contributes directly to completing the project.

Q

indirect labor?

A

Indirect labor includes all labor required to support construction, but does not usually produce an end product
itself. Therefore, this time is not reported under a project number, but under an indirect labor code as follows

Q

Readiness and training?

A

Readiness and training are comprised of functions related to preparation for and execution of military exercises,
disaster preparedness, mobility, and technical training. Training includes attendance at service schools; factory
and industrial training courses; fleet-type training; special Seabee training courses; safety training; military
training; and any organized training conducted within the unit

Q

project management process normally begins at what level?

A

unit level. this
directive provides the who, what, when, where, and why of a particular project and may be in the form of an

Q

Project Package?

A

The project package, also referred to as a project folder, is a critical part of project management. It is the
permanent record of everything that occurs on the project from start to closeout. Operations is responsible for
maintaining the official copy of the project package. The project supervisor is responsible for creating and
maintaining an on-site project package for the entire duration of the project. This on-site project package is turned
over to operations for incorporation into the official copy upon completion of co

Q

A milestone represents?

A

. A milestone represents a decision point, a major

Q

Level III?

A

ilitary engineers use the Level III Gantt chart to plan, schedule, and monitor/control the
day-to-day operations of the project. A Level III chart is maintained for each project. The Level III is
similar to the Level II in format, but goes into greater detail. The horizontal timeline specifies days; the
vertical line items are construction activities for the project. The Level III provides a plan for project
supervisors to accomplish project tasking. Project supervisors update the Level III Gantt chart daily. At the
end of each two-week period, project supervisors plot the actual percent completed on the Level II Gantt
chart.

Q

Level II?

A

Military engineers use the Level II Gantt chart for an individual project plan as well as to control
and evaluate progress. The horizontal timeline specifies weeks for the entire duration of the project; the
vertical line items are master activities for individual projects and reflect allocated manpower resources.

and manage overall unit tasking. The horizontal timeline for a Level I specifies months; the vertical line
items are individual projects and reflect total MDs planned and/or expended

Q

PRECEDENCE DIAGRAM?

A

Primary purpose is to show overall project duration and to identify the critical path.
The critical path represents the group of construction activities that must be started on time and completed within
the duration in order to finish the project by the scheduled completion date.
