Located alongside a cobblestoned street in Old City, Old City Photographics (OCP) specializes in the processing of the traditional $ 35 \mathrm{~mm} $ negative film, a once dominant photographic medium now in decline due to the popularity of digital photography. OCP offers three packages to their customers. With the standard package, the customer gets a set of $ 6 " \mathrm{x} 4 $ " prints for $ \$ 19.99 $. The deluxe package adds to the standard package a CDROM of high resolution scans of the pictures for $ \$ 29.99 $. Finally, the $ \$ 39.99 $ pro package is similar to the deluxe package in that it comes with a CD-ROM, although the customer gets a contact print rather than a set of prints. (A contact print is an $ 8 " \times 10^{\prime \prime} $ sheet of photographic paper that has all pictures on the roll of film printed next to each other at reduced dimensions and is used as an index.) The workflow for OCP is shown below (s=standard, d=deluxe, $ p= $ pro):

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The implied utilization is calculated as the ratio of workload to capacity. If the workload at "Scan Film" is less than its capacity but still significant, a utilization of 60% to 70% suggests that the facility is being used efficiently without reaching its maximum capacity, indicating a balanced operation that is neither underutilized (<50%) nor nearing full capacity (90%-100%).
