Labor and Equipment Utilization

Utilization is the percentage of time a resource (employee, equipment) is busy.

How Does It Profit You?

Maintain predictable costs. Knowing the utilization helps plan for the future and optimize usage of resources. If you know that the utilization of a particular type of manufacturing equipment is decreasing, then you can look at the type of jobs that require that equipment and market accordingly. Conversely, if the  utilization is near capacity, then this resource may become a bottleneck.
