Question

Operates a service and maintenance workshop within the CBD precinct of a major South African city. As part of a planned shift to a response strategy, the workshop manag ould like to determine the workshop's current load of capacity. e following information about the workshop has been validated: The workshop has a designed capacity of 100 cars per month. Effective capacity of the workshop is 90 cars per month. Current backlog in the system is 15 cars per month. Actual output is 70 cars per month. Expected capacity has averaged 88 cars for the past few months. Capacity in the system is 20 cars per month. EQUIRED: ased on the information provided above, determine the capacity efficiency of the facility.

A. 71.3%
B. 77.8%
C. 82.8%
D. 93.2%

Answer 1

The capacity efficiency of the workshop is 77.8%, which is determined by the output of 70 cars per month divided by the effective capacity of 90 cars per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity efficiency of the workshop operating within the CBD precinct of a major South African city can be determined by the ratio of actual output to effective capacity, expressed as a percentage. The actual output is given as 70 cars per month, and the effective capacity is 90 cars per month. Thus, the capacity efficiency is calculated as (Actual Output / Effective Capacity) * 100 = (70 / 90) * 100 = 77.8%.

EQUIRED: a specific, calculated percentage to measure efficiency is needed to complete the analysis, and in this case, the answer is option B, 77.8%.
