utilizations
Putting to work
Utilizations is the plural of utilization, which means the act of putting something to use.
The word appears most often in technical, bureaucratic, or business contexts: resource utilizations, capacity utilizations.
It's a longer way of saying "uses" that sounds more formal or official—sometimes unnecessarily so.
