Utilization Definition : (Billable Days in period/Potential Billable Days in Period) Complicating Factors: Denominator is adjusted for days that are not potentially billable (vacation, sick, etc.) Denominator can not exceed 5 days/week. Individual CAN be > 100% utilized. If a person is legitimately billable six days/week (anything over 5), then they will exceed 100% utilization Definition of Billable may vary by client – e.g. Fannie Mae caps an individual at 40 hours per week. That could be 4 10 hour days, or 5 8 hour days … or 5 16 hour days – which will get adjusted down to 40 hours for the week. BVS accounts are treated like a normal KT account, hours are capped at 8 hours/day, not 40 hours per week. E.g. on a BVS account, if you work 4 10 hour days and fly home the 5 th day, that is (4/5) 80% utilized. Example 1: • Jim flys to client site on Monday (not billable), facilitates Kaizen event Tuesday – Friday (billable). • Jim’s utilization for that week is (4/5) = 80% Example 2: • Mary provides billable support/mentoring to client Black Belts Monday through and including Saturday. • Mary’s utilization for that week is (6/5) = 120% Example 3: • Pete provides billable support/mentoring for a client Monday & Tuesday, is sick on Wednesday & Thursday and works on an internal SSA project to update training material on Friday & Saturday. • Pete’s utilization for that week is (2/3) = 66% • Note the two sick workdays are removed form the denominator. Example 3: • Pete provides billable support/mentoring for a client Monday & Tuesday, is sick on Wednesday & Thursday and works on an internal SSA project to update training material on Friday & Saturday. • Pete’s utilization for that week is (2/3) = 66% • Note the two sick workdays are removed form the denominator.
