In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example
Service Utilization Rate tracks how much of the available service resources (e.g., technicians, equipment, service time) are being used to provide customer services. For example, if a technician is booked for 150 hours out of 200 available hours, the utilization rate is 75%. This KPI helps ensure that service capacity is being fully utilized and that service teams are not underperforming or overburdened. In manufacturing, optimizing service utilization ensures that maintenance and repairs are carried out efficiently, reducing operational costs.
