Capacity Utilization and Profitability
Low utilization means fixed costs (machines, rent, manpower) are spread over fewer units — increasing cost per unit and reducing competitiveness. A factory at 60% utilization has a 40% higher fixed cost burden per unit than one at 100%. The fastest way to improve profitability is often to fill idle capacity with new orders rather than cutting costs.
