Question

The manager of a new carpet store is hiring. The data showed that on average a worker can install 448 yards per hour (capacity). Considering providing reasonable breaks the manager hired 17 workers to make sure they can complete 20,000 yards each 8 hours day. What is the labor utilization? Just fill in the number, no unit, no formula, no explanation, and no %. Keep two decimal points. For example, if your answer is 56%, fill in as 0.56. Do the rounding only at the last step to make sure your number is accurate enough.

Explanation / Answer

in order to complete 20000 yards in total, Labour Utilization = Demand/Capacity = 20000/448*17*8 = 0.33
