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 950 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year. In the past year, 850 employees were trained. The efficiency of this system is approximately ________________ and its utilization is approximately _____________________.

Answer 1

Efficiency of the system = Actual output/ Effective capacity*100

Efficiency of the system = 850/950*100

Efficiency of the system = 0.894737*100

Efficiency of the system = 89.47%

Utilization of the system = Actual output/Design capacity*100

Utilization of the system = 850/1200*100

Utilization of the system = 0.708333*100

Utilization of the system = 70.83%
