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.
