Electronics Repair, Refurbishment & Depot Operations calculator

Technician Utilization Calculator

Measure how much available repair technician time is spent on productive diagnostic, repair, refurbishment, test, and documentation work. Two counts and a target give you a rate plus how far you are from where you need to be.

What this calculator does

  • Measure how much available repair technician time is spent on productive diagnostic, repair, refurbishment, test, and documentation work.
  • Use it when technician utilization in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.
  • Turns productive technician hours, available technician hours, target technician utilization into a rate for technician utilization in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations.

Formula used

  • Technician utilization = productive technician hours ÷ available technician hours × 100
  • Technician utilization gap to target = technician utilization - target technician utilization

Inputs explained

  • Productive technician hours: undefined
  • Available technician hours: undefined
  • Target technician utilization: undefined

How to use the result

  • Use it when technician utilization in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations is being reviewed against a KPI.
  • Trend matters more than a single snapshot; pull the result for the last several periods before you act.

Common questions

  • What does the technician utilization calculator give me? Measure how much available repair technician time is spent on productive diagnostic, repair, refurbishment, test, and documentation work. You get a rate you can defend before quoting, scheduling, or sign-off.
  • What numbers should I focus on first? productive technician hours, available technician hours, target technician utilization usually move the rate most. Pull from measured electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations runs, supplier data, and recent quotes rather than memory.
  • How should I act on the output? Use the gap to target to prioritize the next electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations kaizen or corrective action.
  • What should I double-check before acting? Confirm the counts came from the same time window and the same scope; mismatched scope is the most common error.
