utilization rate

Noun

 * 1)  The percentage of the capacity of a device or system that is used productively.

Usage notes

 * The determination of capacity and the determination of productive use require a great deal of specification. For example, "nameplate capacity" of a machine does not make any allowance for the number of shifts of operation, holidays, vacations, preventive maintenance, repairs, cleaning time, use for training and experimentation, and set-up or changeover time.
