Utilization Rate

Utilization rate measures how effectively a company uses its available resources, such as labour hours or machinery capacity. It is calculated by comparing actual productive time to total available time. Higher utilisation indicates operational efficiency, while low rates may signal underperformance, excess capacity, or poor resource planning.
