Peak utilization
الاستغلال في الذروة
Definition
Peak utilization is the share of a branch's service capacity used at peak: daily demand divided by service velocity times operating hours, delivery orders included. Under the Doctrine's third principle, at 80% capacity is added or demand redirected before any new campaign; above 100%, demand generation into that branch stops.
In plain words
How full your branch is at its busiest; once it is full, more customers do not help.
