6.
All of the following can designate critical tasks that apply to a specific Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) in a particular workcenter except
Correct Answer
D. Unit training managers
Explanation
The correct answer is unit training managers. Unit training managers do not designate critical tasks that apply to a specific Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) in a particular workcenter. MAJCOMs, supervisors, and commanders are responsible for identifying and designating critical tasks for specific AFSCs within their respective workcenters. Unit training managers are typically responsible for managing and coordinating training programs and schedules within a unit, but they do not have the authority to designate critical tasks.
7.
Who must approve a waiver before an individual can be added to the special certification roster (SCR) for a task normally performed by a person of higher grade?
Correct Answer
D. Maintenance Group commander (MXG/CC)
Explanation
The Maintenance Group commander (MXG/CC) must approve a waiver before an individual can be added to the special certification roster (SCR) for a task normally performed by a person of higher grade.

15.
In order to account for unfunded requirement 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 portion of the manpower is allocated to handle tasks and requirements that are not directly funded or related to maintenance activities. This allows for flexibility in addressing unforeseen needs and ensuring that essential tasks are still carried out efficiently.
16.
Which element of a logistics composite model (LCOM) study considers weather modeling conditions?
Correct Answer
C. Operations requirements
Explanation
The element of a logistics composite model (LCOM) study that considers weather modeling conditions is operations requirements. Weather conditions can have a significant impact on the operations of a logistics system, including transportation, scheduling, and resource allocation.

19.
A unit manpower document (UMD) does not
Correct Answer
C. Show the name of person assigned to a particular position
Explanation
A unit manpower document (UMD) does not show the name of the person assigned to a particular position because it is a document that provides an overview of the manpower requirements and positions within a unit. It is not meant to track or display the specific individuals assigned to each position, but rather to provide information on the required grade, AF specialty code (AFSC), and other details related to the positions within the unit.
20.
A meeting to discuss manning issues in the maintenance group (MXG) is normally held
Correct Answer
B. Monthly
Explanation

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
The correct answer is XB3. The XB3 code indicates that the asset is expendable, meaning it is expected to be consumed or used up during its normal use. This code also indicates that the asset is not recoverable, meaning it cannot be repaired or reused once it is used up. Additionally, the XB3 code indicates that the asset is not reparable, meaning it cannot be fixed or restored to its original condition once it is used up. Therefore, an asset must have the XB3 code assigned to it before it can be placed on a bench stock.
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 various problems. It can tie up a significant amount of capital, increase storage costs, and risk spoilage or obsolescence. Additionally, excessive stock can indicate poor inventory management and can hinder cash flow. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balance between having enough stock to meet customer demand and avoiding excessive inventory levels.
