    The aim of this work is to study equipment utilization of an enterprise. To examine the random order arrivals and random output, we use the supply and demand model, in which demand is equipment utilization and supply is product output. There are no restrictions on the type of value, deterministic or random, and on the form of the distribution function of demand and/or supply. The initial data are integer random supply and demand with arbitrary distribution functions. The output parameters of the model are supported and unsupported demand, and unused supply. These parameters are also integer random variables for which the model allows obtaining their functional characteristics. We show that the conventional deterministic approach to calculating the quantity of equipment as a ratio of the average product demand to the average machine capacity leads to both equipment downtime and consumer unsupported demand. We solve this problem for the enterprise manufacturing temperature sensors. When two pieces of equipment are used to produce a certain type of sensors under study, the average unsupported demand is about 12% of the average monthly order and varies from 17 to 112 (non-produced) sensors. Only five months a year the order is fully executed within a month; the equipment is fully utilized for 7-8 months a year. The model allows calculating not only the average values of parameters, but also their distribution functions.
