The method
How the number is worked out.
Daily
Machines × hours × rate
Every machine, every hour it stands still, at the rate it would have earned.
Monthly
× working days
The monthly figure most owners have never seen written down.
Recoverable
× 40% with visibility
The share typically recovered once stops are measured, attributed and owned.

Questions
Straight answers.
How do I calculate the cost of machine downtime?
Multiply the number of machines by the average hours lost per machine per day, the machine hour rate and the working days. That is your monthly downtime bill; the calculator does the arithmetic and annualises it.
What machine hour rate should I use?
The rate you quote customers per machine hour is the simplest honest choice. It captures labour, power, depreciation and overhead that keep running while the machine stands still.
How much downtime is typical?
Plants without automatic monitoring commonly carry 1.5 to 3 hours of unlogged idle and downtime per machine per day, much of it in stops too short to write down.
How much of it can be recovered?
Visibility alone typically recovers a large share, around 40% in this calculator, because stops that are measured and attributed get fixed. The free pilot measures your real figure.
