Question 365General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) Reduce overtime expenditures department-wide for all engineering department employees 10% for the upcoming deployment as compared to the last trip. This is the correct answer because a well-defined plan objective should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Option B meets these criteria - it specifies the target (reduce overtime expenditures), the scope (department-wide for all engineering department employees), the measurable amount (10%), the timeframe (for the upcoming deployment), and the basis for comparison (as compared to the last trip). The other options are less specific or lack one or more of the SMART criteria. Option A does not include a measurable target. Option C does not specify the scope or base it on a comparison. Option D does not include a timeframe or basis for comparison.
