A fleet repair facility has the capacity to repair 850 trucks per month. However, due to scheduled maintenance of their equipment, management feels that they can repair no more than 725 trucks per month. Last month, two of the employees were absent several days each, and only 483 trucks were repaired. What are the utilization and efficiency of the repair shop?

Utilization

Final Answer :
Design Capacity = 850 trucks
Effective Capacity = 720 trucks
Actual Output = 483 trucks
Utilization =  actual output  design capacity \frac { \text { actual output } } { \text { design capacity } } design capacity  actual output  = 483/850 = 56.82%
Efficiency =  actual output  design capacity \frac { \text { actual output } } { \text { design capacity } } design capacity  actual output  = 483/720 = 67.08%
