The percentage about an organization's potential production that is actually being realized is measured by capacity utilization rate. A company's or a country's economy's capacity utilization rate may be measured to get a sense of how well it is performing up to its potential. The rate is calculated by dividing the actual output by the projected output at minimum cost, then multiplying the result by 100.
