Kapazitätsverlust durch ineffiziente Belegungsplanung
Definition
Vendors of facility scheduling software stress ‘capacity management’ and simple visualisation of facility capacity to ensure venues are ‘never overbooked’ and can ‘maximise utilisation’ of zones and facilities.[1][3][10] Another platform promotes that venues using its system can ‘use your venue or school’s facilities to their fullest potential’ and ‘increase utilisation’, indicating that without such digital tools many bookable hours remain unused.[4][10] Given that most Australian sports halls, courts and studios must still be staffed and lit even when partially used, any empty time leads directly to lost contribution margin. If a facility has 70 bookable hours per week at AUD 40/hour and runs at only 70–80% utilisation instead of 90–95%, the lost capacity equals 7–18 hours per week or AUD 280–720 weekly, i.e. AUD 15,000–37,000 per year.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Quantified: 10–20% vermeidbarer Kapazitätsverlust bei 70 Std./Woche × AUD 40/Stunde ≈ AUD 15,000–37,000 p.a. pro Halle/Court; in größeren Zentren mit mehreren Flächen leicht AUD 30,000–60,000 p.a.
- Frequency: Täglich, insbesondere in Randzeiten und bei komplexen Mehrzweckflächen (Aufteilung von Hallen/Courts)
- Root Cause: Fehlende zentrale Kapazitätsübersicht; keine Online-Echtzeitverfügbarkeit für Kunden; starre Belegungsregeln; keine Funktion für „facility splitting“ (z.B. Court in mehrere kleinere Einheiten); manuelle Blockung von Pufferzeiten, die nie aktiv optimiert werden.[1][2][10]
