#4 - Unexpected Downtime

BCF ORG Tech Talk

Unexpected machine downtime is a production manager's nightmare, particularly in facilities that operate 24-7. Unexpected Downtime is not a matter of IF but WHEN.

Industrial plant downtime happens for a variety of reasons and always at the worst time.

Unexpected Downtime wreaks havoc on production. Few things cause bigger headaches than the dreaded alert that a production unit or line has suddenly and unexpectedly shut down due to equipment failure.

Unexpected downtime is almost inevitably associated with extremely high costs. Where you will almost always spend whatever it takes to get the machine or process up and running again.
