Utilization Table - Bottlenecks and Capacity, Step by Step

Utilization shows how much of each stage's capacity the exact output uses.

highlighted = computed this step

Prep utilization

Prep utilization is 2/3.

\text{Prep util}=2/3

Pack utilization is 1. Interpretation: the bottleneck is fully used.

\text{Pack util}=1

Ship utilization is 1/2.

\text{Ship util}=1/2

Utilization compares flow with capacity. It is not a wait-time or quality measure.

\text{flow divided by capacity}
