Capacity Utilization

Summary

The extent to which available capacity is used productively.

Conventional Definition

Capacity Utilization is commonly calculated as used capacity divided by available capacity.

Value Realization-Oriented Definition

In Value Realization, Capacity Utilization distinguishes productive use from overload and helps identify trapped, idle, or misallocated capacity.
