ausgelastetes

Ausgelastetes is a German term that translates to "fully utilized," "fully booked," "overloaded," or "saturated" in English. Its meaning is context-dependent and refers to a state where a resource, capacity, or system is operating at its maximum limit or has no available slack.

In an economic context, ausgelastetes often describes production facilities or services that are working at full capacity, meaning they cannot accept new orders or provide additional services without expanding their resources or delaying existing commitments. This can indicate high demand and efficient operation, but also potential bottlenecks and a lack of flexibility.

In terms of labor, ausgelastetes can refer to an individual or a team that is fully occupied with tasks, leaving no time for new projects or additional responsibilities. This can be a sign of high productivity but also a risk of burnout if the workload is unsustainable.

In engineering and system design, ausgelastetes indicates that a component or a system is operating at its peak performance, with no reserve capacity. This can be an intentional design choice to maximize efficiency or a sign of potential failure if demand exceeds the stated limits. The term implies that there is no room for further input or activity without a negative consequence.
