Effective capacity is the:
a. maximum output of a system in a given period.
b. average output that can be achieved under ideal conditions.
c. capacity a firm expects to achieve given the current operating constraints.

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 p

Consider a production line with five stations. Station 1 can produce a unit in 9 minutes. Station 2 can produce a unit in 10 minutes. Station 3 has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes (each unit only needs to be processe

...

The efficiency of a factory is 75% and its utilization 50%. If effective capacity is 1000 find design capacity.

Actual Output = Efficiency x Effective Capacity = 75% x 1000 = 750
Design Capacity = Actual Output/Utilization = 750/50% = 1500
Answer: 1,500

c. 20 seconds
d. 6000 chips per minute
e. 20,000 seconds
