Final Answer :
Both are ratios, not item counts. Both use actual output in the ratio numerator. Utilization is the ratio of actual output to design capacity, so it measures output as a fraction of ideal facility usage. Efficiency is the ratio of actual output to effective capacity, so it measures output as a fraction of the practical or current limits of the facility.
