• Key Concepts: 
  Utilization in the context of Facilities Management (FS-MCM-FAC) is the process of measuring and managing the use of resources such as space, equipment, and personnel. It is used to ensure that resources are being used efficiently and effectively. Utilization can be measured in terms of time, cost, or other metrics. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Utilization can be used to identify areas where resources are being underutilized or overutilized. This information can then be used to make decisions about how to best allocate resources. Utilization can also be used to track progress towards goals and objectives. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When measuring utilization, it is important to consider the context in which the resource is being used. For example, if a resource is being used for a specific purpose, it may not be appropriate to measure its utilization in terms of time or cost. Additionally, it is important to consider the impact of external factors such as weather or market conditions when measuring utilization. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Utilization is closely related to capacity planning, which is the process of determining how much of a resource should be allocated for a given task or project. Utilization can also be used in conjunction with other metrics such as productivity or efficiency to gain a better understanding of how resources are being used.
