Question

Show your calculations.

Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations:
A car wash operation processes an average of 60 cars per day. The operation has a

design capacity of 100 cars per day and an effective capacity of 80 cars per day.

A drive through fast food restaurant has been designed to handle 120 customers during lunchtime (12 to 2 PM) each day, but currently averages only 65 drive through customers at that time. Prior to the recession, when lines of customers were long, the restaurant actually handled a maximum of only 90 customers.
Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always

have higher utilization ratios than those other systems? Explain.
