Actual exam question for AACE International's CCP exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 5
[All CCP Questions]

A major theme park is expanding the existing facility over a five-year period. The design phase will be completed one year after the contract is awarded. Major engineering drawings will be finalized two years after the design contract is awarded and construction will begin three years after the award of the design contract. New, unique ride technology will be used and an estimate will need to be developed to identify these costs that have no historical data.

Which of the following is least likely to improve a large earthmoving contractor's productivity?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Using apprentice operators to save labor costs is the least likely to improve a large earthmoving contractor's productivity. While it may reduce labor costs, apprentice operators are generally less experienced and less efficient than seasoned operators, which could lead to lower productivity and potentially higher costs due to mistakes or slower work. In contrast, options B, C, and D are all strategies that could directly improve productivity by optimizing working conditions or using more efficient equipment. Hence, the correct answer is A. Using apprentice operators to save labor costs.

Wait, are we really sure about the new excavators? Bigger isn't always better.

Replacing old excavators sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if the cost of new equipment might offset any productivity gains.

I think removing underground hazards is definitely important, but it seems like it wouldn't directly improve productivity as much as the other options.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like starting work earlier to avoid the heat could really help productivity.

I remember discussing how using apprentice operators might actually slow things down, so I think that could be the least effective option.
