• Key Concepts: 
  Operating time utilization is a term used in SAP's PP-REM Repetitive Manufacturing component. It is a measure of the efficiency of a production process, and is calculated by dividing the total operating time of a production process by the total available operating time. This measure helps to identify areas of inefficiency in the production process, and can be used to improve overall efficiency. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to calculate operating time utilization, you must first determine the total available operating time for a production process. This includes the total amount of time that the machines and personnel are available for production, as well as any other factors that may affect the amount of time available for production. Once this has been determined, you can then calculate the total operating time by adding up all of the individual times for each step in the production process. Finally, divide the total operating time by the total available operating time to get your operating time utilization percentage. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating operating time utilization, it is important to take into account any downtime that may occur during the production process. This includes any maintenance or repair work that needs to be done on machines or personnel, as well as any other factors that may affect the amount of time available for production. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that are made to the production process over time, as this can have an effect on your overall operating time utilization percentage. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Operating time utilization is closely related to other measures of efficiency such as cycle time and throughput rate. Additionally, it is important to consider other factors such as quality control and safety when evaluating a production process's efficiency.
