Question

The staff training center at a large regional hospital provides training sessions in CPR to all employees. Assume that the capacity of this training system was designed to be 1300 employees per year. Since the training center was first put in use, the program has become more complex, so that 1000 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year. In the past year, 950 employees were trained. The efficiency of this system is approximately _____ and its utilization is approximately _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

95%, 73.1%

Explanation:

Actual output= 950 per year

Design capacity= 1300 per year (Theoretical capacity)

Effective capacity= 1000 per year (efficiency of the shop)

Now Efficiency = actual output/effective capacity = 950/1000 = 0.95, 95.0%

Utilization= actual output/ design capacity = 950/1300 = 0.7308, 73.1%
