Hi, How can i help you?
the sequence of activities relevant to a particular product, service, project, or contract. Quality control (QC) is a
process through which a business seeks to ensure that product quality is maintained or improved. Quality control
involves testing units and determining if they are within the specifications for the final product. Quality audit is a
process of examination and verification of procedures, records, and activities of a quality system that is carried out
by an audit team or an internal or external quality auditor.

Question 2

which one of the following statements best defines procurement?

A technique to establish the best approach for obtaining the resources for the project.

a group of interrelated resources and activities that transform inputs into outputs.

the description of the purpose, form and components to support delivery of a product.

the process by which products and services required for the project are acquired.

Correct Answer : d

Selected Answer :

Explanation : Concept: Procurement as an organizational process is intended to ensure that the buyer receives
goods, services, or works at the best possible price when aspects such as quality, quantity, time, and location are
compared.Corporations and public bodies often define processes intended to promote fair and open competition
for their business while minimizing risks such as exposure to fraud and collusion.

Question 3

critical path network.

product flow diagram.

Pareto chart.

Correct Answer : a

Selected Answer :

Explanation : Concept: A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and
useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the
activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of
the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity. This allows us to see at a glance:  What the
various activities are  When each activity begins and ends  How long each activity is scheduled to last  Where
activities overlap with other activities, and by how much  The start and end date of the whole project

 during shearing stage only

at the end of consolidation stage only.

both at the end of consolidation and during shearing stages.

under none of the above conditions.

Correct Answer : b

Selected Answer :

Explanation : Concept: After saturation, the specimen is normally consolidated to a stress condition representative
of its in-situ condition. The consolidation is normally isotropic (the stresses applied vertically and horizontally to the
sample are the same). In effective stress tests the sample will be consolidated to an effective pressure. This is the
difference between the confining (cell) pressure and the back pressure. If this is compared to the equation in Figure
2 defining effective stress you will see this is incorrect. At this point in the test pore pressure is replaced by back
pressure to define our effective stress, to help simplify setup of this phase of the test. When the confining pressure
and back pressure have been set to the correct values, there will be an excess of pore pressure in the sample (the
pore pressure will be higher than the back pressure). Once the consolidation is started the excess pore pressure in
the sample will start to dissipate as the consolidation process drains of water from the sample decreasing its
volume. Once this process is complete (the sample has stopped changing in volume) the pore pressure will be at
or very near the back pressure level and pore pressure will be used to calculate the effective stress conditions the
sample is under. 100% dissipation of excess pore pressure is not always possible so most standards suggest a
minimum dissipation of 95% is achieved before the consolidation process is stopped.
