Under-utilisation is defined as the programmed activity time in which the operating room is not used, while over-utilisation is the time used for elective cases after exceeding the scheduled time.

Under-utilisation means less revenue to compensate for fixed costs, while over-utilisation entails overtime, with costs 1.5–2 times higher than those generated by under-utilisation. In addition, staff may be prompted to quit due to dissatisfaction with long working hours, and the need to hire new personnel also increases costs. This is why controlling over-utilisation is far more important than under-utilisation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0355"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> Operating room managers must aim to limit over-utilisation to less than one third of operating rooms, and tolerate under-utilisation in the remaining two thirds by ensuring all procedures have finalised before the end of the nursing shift.

Decisions to allocate an operating room time for a particular surgeon or a particular service are based on this parameter.
