Days In Service (Utilization calculations)

Days In Service (also known as "In-Service Days") is a metric that is often used alongside Agreement Days to calculate fleet utilization percentages in ATMS GEN2.0.

A unit's Days in Service (also known as "In-Service Days") is calculated as the total number of days the unit has been in service over its single or multiple life cycles, either from the unit's Service Start Date to today (if the unit is still in service), or to the date the unit was removed from the fleet, inclusive of the Service End Date. However, note that your manufacturer may choose to exclude calendar days on which a unit spends on certain statuses from being counted in the "Days in Service" portion of calculations (e.g., On Maintenance, Recall, or Body Shop).

Units with multiple life cycles reflect utilization for days in service spent in the fleet. If your manufacturer has a Pre-Owned Vehicle program, this includes both life cycles for Pre-Owned units in your location's fleet; days in service during it's first, non-pre-owned life cycle, and days in service during its second pre-owned life cycle will be counted toward utilization.

The following calendar days are not counted toward the "In Service Days" portion of utilization calculations:

  • Days a unit has the Flagged for Auto Removal status.
  • Days after a Removed From Fleet unit's Service End Date.
  • Days on which a unit spends the entirety with one or more "Exclude From Utilization" statuses, as determined by the manufacturer's setting (e.g., Pending Import Details, On Maintenance, Recall, and/or Body Shop), if applicable.

When it comes to counting Agreement Days (calendar days during which a unit was In Use on an agreement), the report considers all open and closed agreements. The following calendar days are not counted toward the "Agreement Days" portion of utilization calculations:

  • Days a unit is In Use on a Shuttle or Internal Use agreement, if your location uses these types of agreements.
  • Days a unit is In Use on an agreement that was later voided.
  • Days a unit is In Use on an agreement of a certain Classification, as determined by your manufacturer's setting, if applicable.
