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 1200 employees per year. Since the training center was first put into​ use, the program has become more​ complex, so that 1050 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:

Efficiency of the system is 90.48% and Utilization is 79.17%

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Designed capacity, D.O = 1200 employees per year

Effective capacity, E.O = 1050 employees per year

Actual trained output, A.O = 950 employees

Efficiency and Utilization are both measures of performance of a system.

Efficiency is the ratio of the actual trained output to the effective capacity.

$Efficiency = \frac{A.O}{E.O} * 100$

Utilization is a ratio of the actual output to the total designed capacity.

$Utilization = \frac{A.O}{D.O} * 100$

Inputting the values,

$Efficiency = \frac{950}{1050} * 100 = 90.48%$

$Utilization = \frac{950}{1200} * 100 = 79.17%$

Hence, Efficiency of the system is 90.48% and Utilization is 79.27%.
