Question

Compute the utilisation and efficiency rates for the following scenario:

Mrs. Owens owns 1000 taxi cabs in her taxi company in Barbados. However, 200 cabs have been scheduled to go into servicing/maintenance this week, and due to a major storm (last night) 10 cabs were badly damaged.

Answer 1

Formula for utilization efficiency = Total out put/ total input x 100

Toatl input available = number of taxi owne

Total output = number of taxi available for work

Calculation for number of taxi available for work= Toatal number of taxi own- ( Number of taxi for maintanance +Number of taxi for repare , due to strome)

= 1000-(200+10)

=790

Therefor utilization efficiency = 790x100/1000= 79%
