Utilisation is either not measured or measured as a stick. This shows where there is genuine room and where there is strain, which is a planning tool rather than a performance one.
What's Included
- Utilisation across resource types people, equipment, and space.
- Realistic capacity not theoretical maximum.
- Strain shown as well as spare because both are decisions.
- An assistant that names the binding constraint.
How To Use
- Use realistic capacity. Theoretical maximum is never achievable.
- Show strain as well as spare. Sustained high utilisation is a risk.
- Present it as planning information, not as a performance measure.
- Find the binding constraint. Everything else has slack by definition.
Forecast it with capacity planning, and allocate with the resource planner.
