City College PPF: Training and Clinics

City College PPF — Training and Clinics

City College has a fixed annual pool of instructors, nurses, rooms and operating funds. It can use those resources for vocational training places or for community clinic sessions, but it cannot maximize both at the same time. The PPF gives a simple boundary for that decision. The proposed budget and the clinic-priority plan are both potential efficient allocations on the frontier. Their different positions do not determine policy; they show what must be given up when one service expands. A later point inside the curve can illustrate an unfilled-staff problem, where the organization produces less than its current resources could support.
