🔍 Key Concepts

• SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) • Difference between a general goal and a clearly defined management objective • Need to identify who, what, how much, and by when in an engineering management objective

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: Does it clearly state how much change is expected and compared to what? • Check whether the statement identifies who is affected (scope) and when the result is to be achieved. • Decide which option could be directly measured and reported by a chief/first engineer at the end of the next deployment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices include a numerical target (e.g., percentage) instead of a vague reduction. • Verify which choices clearly define a time frame or reference period (e.g., upcoming deployment vs. last trip). • Verify which option has all of: who (department/scope), what (overtime expenditures), how much (percentage), and by when/compared to when (time reference).
