● Implies: A lower workload/less complexity/less re-work/used fewer hours than anticipated/ improved training/ new machinery or technology/ automation/ higher quality of materials/ more experienced workers ● More Efficient Workers: Ahead of schedule/ better training; better work scheduling/ sequencing ● Evaluates: Are paying the correct labor rate? Are “shortcuts” being employed (corners (safety) being cut?) Is

Implies: A higher workload/more complexity/re-work/strike/used improvised work arounds/used more hours than anticipated/emergency work  – done continuously/ stipulations delayed job/obstacles on-site/more specialized labor/ new labor contract/ non-standard work being performed/ additional new process steps/ unplanned/ emergency work or condition/ permit stipulations delayed job/ poor supervision/ poor employee performance/ additional testing/ monitoring/ too many people being employed

Implies: Many smaller/simpler repairs were done/ more units were produced/ used less equipment than planned/ used more efficient equipment/ methods/ systems More Efficient/Less Re-Work: Perhaps work was performed by contractors (Company does not claim contractors’ hours)/ use of robots/ automation/ workers were employed by other organization (than the project); better work scheduling/ sequencing/ smaller work
