Explanation / Answer

a) Capacity of the nurse team = Total available nurse hours / hours per patient

= 12*9/1.5

= 72 per 9 hour work day

b) Utilization of the nurse team = Actual demand / Capacity

= 60/72

= 0.833 = 83 percent

c) Cycle time = Available time / Demand rate

= 12*9/60

= 1.8 hours
