Fleet and equipment utilization calculator
Averaging utilization percentages gives the wrong fleet number. Utilization is recorded use divided by available hours for the same period; for several assets, divide total use by total available hours.
Availability and utilization measure different things
Two definitions
- Availability: hours an asset was approved and ready to work, divided by the hours it was scheduled.
- Utilization: hours of recorded use, divided by the available hours (or the scheduled hours, if you say so).
Low movement does not make an asset spare: a generator powering a site can stay in one place all day while it works. Confirm current commitments and demand before moving equipment.
Define both numbers, then weight the total
Before you divide
- Use the same period for every asset.
- Say what recorded use means: booking, ignition, movement and reviewed work are different numbers.
- Say how holds, maintenance and shifts count in available hours.
- Leave missing hours blank; an absent record is not zero use.
Recorded use above available hours is rejected: check the two definitions.
