Dutch term or phrase: benuttingscoefficient

context: de benuttingscoefficient wordt uitgedrukt in een percentage en is gelijk aan de verhouding tussen het aantal gerealiseerde uren voeding (van een machine) tijdens een referteperiode en het aantal mogelijke uren voeding (365 dgn x 24 u.)

Is er een Engelse term voor benuttingscoefficient?

utilisation factor, load factor

Explanation:
Tip: try googling 'utilisation factor' or 'utilization factor' in combination with machine.

'Load factor' is often used in a very machine-technical sense, but according to 'Terminology in Logistics', published by the European Logistics Association, the term can also mean 'bezettingsfactor', which, I would say, is the same as 'benuttingsfactor'.

effective machine time coefficient

Explanation:
I first thought of 'machine uptime', but then considered that 'effective machine time' is possible closer as the machine is not necessarily down when there is no feed.
