The Crew Utilization Report is a powerful tool in LASSO that provides deep insights into the total number of crew and technicians on your rosters and their classification percentages. This report is highly customizable, allowing you to filter data by various parameters to gain a comprehensive view of your workforce.
Key Features of the Crew Utilization Report
Total Crew and Technicians
The report starts by showing the total number of crew and technicians on your rosters. For example, you might have 701 active crew members.
Utilization Percentage
A critical metric is the percentage of crew members being utilized. In the example, only 28.61% of the crew is being utilized. This indicates that 70% of the crew is not currently working, which might prompt you to investigate why these individuals are not being hired and whether they are available for new jobs.
