Question

The following information was collected on work Center 40: 400 hours scheduled; 30 hours lost due to absenteeism; 20 hours lost while waiting for tooling; 40 hours lost due to power failure; and 300 standard hours of production achieved. Calculate the work center utilization.

Answer 1

75% is the work center utilization

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

Utilization = (Actual Output/Design capacity)*100

From the question;

Actual output = 300

Design capacity = 400

Substituting these values in the equation, we have:

= (300/400)*100

= 0.75*100

= 75%
