Complete Question:
Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations:
a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per
day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.
b. A furnace repair team that services an average of four furnaces a day if the design capacity is six furnaces a day and the
effective capacity is five furnaces a day.
c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than
those other systems? Explain.
Explanation:
It's not (true) actually. Whether the design capacity is comparatively (high), the utilisation could be (low) even though the efficiency was (high).
Utilisation = Output / Design capacity = [tex]\frac{17}{10}[/tex] x 100%
Efficiency = Output / Effective capacity = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Utilisation = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
Efficiency = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
U = 1000/2000
e = 1000/1000
