Capacity Utilization Rate

What is Capacity Utilization Rate?

The Capacity Utilization Rate measures the proportion of utilized production capacity relative to maximum capacity, expressed as a percentage, using data-driven analytics to assess efficiency.

Why is it important?

• Efficiency boost: Identifies underutilized capacity for optimization.

• Cost savings: Prevents overcapacity and reduces waste.

• Planning precision: Enhances resource allocation accuracy.

Applications

Widely applied in manufacturing to optimize production lines, such as in automotive or electronics industries, ensuring streamlined operations and effective capacity management. Real-time monitoring via MES supports dynamic adjustments.
