6.
All of the following can designate critical tasks that apply to a specific Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) in a particular work center except
Correct Answer
D. Unit training managers.
Explanation
The correct answer is unit training managers. While MAJCOMs, supervisors, and commanders can all designate critical tasks that apply to a specific AFSC in a work center, unit training managers are not typically responsible for this task. Unit training managers are responsible for coordinating and managing the training programs within a unit, but they do not have the authority to designate critical tasks specific to an AFSC. This responsibility lies with higher-level authorities such as MAJCOMs, supervisors, and commanders.

In order to account for unfunded requirements and valid non-maintenance tasks, the logistics composite model (LCOM) allows what percentage of overhead manning?
Correct Answer
B. 10
Explanation
The logistics composite model (LCOM) allows for 10% of overhead manning to account for unfunded requirements and valid non-maintenance tasks. This means that a certain percentage of the workforce is allocated to handle tasks that are not directly related to maintenance, such as administrative work or supporting additional requirements that may arise. This allows for flexibility and ensures that the necessary resources are available to handle various logistical needs.
16.
Which element of a logistics composite model (LCOM) study considers weather modeling conditions?

A unit manpower document (UDM) does not show the name of the person assigned to a particular position. The UDM is a document that outlines the manpower requirements for a unit, including the positions and grades needed. However, it does not provide specific information about who is currently assigned to each position. This information would typically be found in a separate personnel roster or assignment document.
20.
A meeting to discuss manning issues in the maintenance group (MXG) is normally held
Correct Answer
B. Monthly.
Explanation
The correct answer is monthly. This is because meetings to discuss manning issues in the maintenance group (MXG) are typically held once a month. Holding these meetings on a monthly basis allows for regular updates and discussions on any staffing concerns within the MXG. This frequency strikes a balance between having enough meetings to address any emerging issues and not overwhelming the participants with too many meetings.
21.
Which maintenance group (MXG) office acts as the office of primary responsibility (OPR) for maintenance analysis referrals?

23.
Which of the following is not normally a Maintenance Supply Liaison duty?
Correct Answer
D. Collecting and turning in expendable, excess, and surplus precious metal bearing assets.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Collecting and turning in expendable, excess, and surplus precious metal bearing assets." This duty is not normally a responsibility of a Maintenance Supply Liaison. The other options, such as monitoring back-ordered requisitions, advising supervisors on supply management documents, and soliciting and consolidating inputs for a quick reference list, are all tasks that a Maintenance Supply Liaison would typically perform. However, collecting and turning in precious metal bearing assets is not directly related to their role in supply management.

Operating commands are required to review permanent readiness spares packages (RSPs) on an annual basis. This means that once a year, the operating commands must assess and evaluate the RSPs to ensure that they are up to date and in good condition. Regular reviews are necessary to maintain the readiness and effectiveness of the RSPs, allowing for any necessary updates or replacements to be made. Quarterly, biennial, or monthly reviews would not provide the same level of thoroughness and attention to detail as an annual review.
26.
Which expendability, recoverability, and reparability codes (ERRC) must be assigned to an asset before it can be placed on a bench stock?
Correct Answer
D. XB3.
Explanation
Before an asset can be placed on a bench stock, it must be assigned the expendability, recoverability, and reparability code (ERRC) XB3. The XB3 ERRC indicates that the asset is expendable, meaning it is consumed or worn out during use and cannot be economically repaired or overhauled. This code also suggests that the asset is not recoverable, meaning it is not cost-effective to recover or repair it after it becomes unserviceable. Finally, the XB3 code indicates that the asset is not reparable, meaning it cannot be repaired or restored to a usable condition.
27.
Shop stock should not exceed how many days of usage?
Correct Answer
C. 90
Explanation
The shop stock should not exceed 90 days of usage because having excessive stock can lead to increased costs and potential waste.
