1.2. Correction Factors Application

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a correction factor?

   Hint

   Think about why we need adjustments.

2. 2.

   Define job efficiency.

   Hint

   Consider how efficient a machine is during its operation.

3. 3.

   What is a correction factor?

   • A permanent measurement
   • An adjustment value
   • An irrelevant figure

   Hint

   Think about what change means.

4. 4.

   True or False: Job efficiency refers to how well a machine performs when it operates.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   It is about time spent effectively.

5. 5.

   If the bulldozer has an original productivity rate of 140.5 loose cubic meters per hour and you apply the following correction factors: visibility 0.8, operator skill 0.7, material type 0.8, and job efficiency 0.89, what is the final adjusted productivity?

   Hint

   Keep multiplying the original productivity by each correction factor.

6. 6.

   A project requires the gyroscopic weight factor of the bulldozer to be integrated into the productivity calculations. If the weight factor is 1.15 and your adjusted productivity is 62.18 loose cubic meters, what is the ultimate productivity after this adjustment?

   Hint

   Multiply the adjusted productivity by the gyroscopic weight factor.
