EP 148: Resource Efficiency: Utilization vs. Availability
EPISODE SUMMARY:
When you look at the availability of your fleet’s assets, are you also looking at the utilization of each asset or vehicle? Could overutilization, underutilization, or even misutilization be compromising your fleet’s true availability?
RTA’s CEO Josh Turley and head of product and consulting Marc Canton dive into the differences between utilization and availability in our latest episode, exploring:
- How utilization feeds availability
- The right (and wrong) ways fleets calculate asset utilization
- How utilization can help you right-size your fleet
- And more
Get insights on how you can communicate with your stakeholders to ensure you’re both on the same page for what utilization means for your fleet, how to identify the right metrics to track, and how to find opportunities to better utilize the assets you do have from Marc’s first-hand experience working as a fleet manager for Fordham University.
