  TIME AVAILABLE FOR EACH MODEL IN HOURS  
             
MODEL B210 G210 B203 G203 B201 G201
Needed Hrs 0.2 0.22 0.15 0.17 0.07 0.09
calculation 40 X 0.2 40 X 0.22 40 X 0.15 40 X 0.17 40 X 0.07 40 X 0.09
Needed Hrs 8 8.8 6 6.8 2.8 3.6
extra hours left 4 x 0.2 4 x 0.22 4 x 0.15 4 x 0.17 4 x 0.07 4 x 0.09
extra hours left 0.8 0.88 0.6 0.68 0.28 0.36

A) Weekly Capacity in hours is as under:

MODEL B210 G210 B203 G203 B201 G201
weekly capacity 8 8.8 6 6.8 2.8 3.6

B) Load Percentage of the work center -

Utilization (%) = (100 * Capacity Load in Hours) / Available Capacity in Hours

= 100 * 36 / 40 = 90%

which can also be said as weekly utilisation of 90%.
