PMT Derived Module average Questions
with correct answers
,2 purposes of executive communication - CORRECT ANSeffectiveness and efficiency
The unique aspect of "Executive" communication is that it places a priority on - CORRECT ANSefficiency
The "Bullet Format" form of executive communication is very useful for - CORRECT ANSbriefings, texts,
email
In the "Bullet Format" mode of communication, _____ are used - CORRECT ANSshort, declarative
statements
When "Bullet Format" communication is called for, the main points are organized - CORRECT
ANSconceptually & hierarchically
"Bullet Format" is used mainly to - CORRECT ANSorganize complex, related material into simple, "main
ideas" presentation
reliability - CORRECT ANSa measure of how long a piece of equipment performs its intended function
(MTBF)
MTBF - CORRECT ANSmean time between failure
maintainability - CORRECT ANSa measure of the efficiency in restoring functional performance (MTTR)
MTTR - CORRECT ANSmean time to repair
availability - CORRECT ANSa measure of the ability to perform the intended function over time;
percentage of uptime / total time
, how do reliability and maintainability affect availability? - CORRECT ANSboth are "designed in" by
engineers
reliability -> leads to better availability
maintainability -> leads to faster restoration of availability
design for manufacturability - CORRECT ANSchoices that result in a system that is easily and efficiently
manufactured
design for maintainability - CORRECT ANSchoices that result in a system that is easily and efficiently
restored to its available status
servicing vs maintenance - CORRECT ANSservicing - attending to basic needs of components/systems
maintenance - ensuring performance of intended function
maintenance types (general) - CORRECT ANSproactive - before failure
reactive - after failure
Matteson & Nowlan - contribution to development of mx - CORRECT ANS1960s -> reliability a function of
age; useful life can be established and components replaced before failure
Nowlan & Heap - contribution to development of mx - CORRECT ANS1970s -> component failure not a
function of age in most cases
RCM - CORRECT ANSReliability Centered Maintenance - evaluates mode, likelihood, and consequence of
failure, with a focus on those affecting safety and economic consequence; uses decision-tree method to
determine preventative tasks
two approaches within RCM - CORRECT ANSReliability-Centered Maintenance
