Production time (OEE)
www.oeetoolkit.nl:
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a crucial measure in TPM that tells you how well your equipment is running. It links three elements in one percentage: the time the machines is actually running, the quantity of products the machine is turning out, and the quantity of good output.

Oops. Asset Utilization - did a backcheck and turned up the following, which seems more reasonable in your financial context:
Anlagenintensität: Die Anlagenintensität ist eine Bilanz- kennzahl. Sie zeigt das Verhältnis des Anlagevermögens zum Gesamtvermögen. Je höher dieser Wert ist, desto unflexibler kann das Unternehmen im Hinblick auf z.B. Marktver- änderungen agieren. Weiterhin ist tendenziell der Fixkosten- anteil höher. Außerdem muß bei einer hohen Anlageintensität stets auf die Kapazitätsauslastung geachtet werden

Explanation:
It is an important figure because you have to utilise your investment to the full to be competitive.
Utilisation = time in use / time available

23 mins confidence: equipment intensity
Explanation:
this is one of those ratios, like 'capital intensive', 'work intensive' - "degree of equipment utilization (AE)" might be another good translation. 'Bewertungskennzahl' translates as 'valuation ratio'
