For a manufacturing or mining operation, machinery is at the heart of production. Crushers, mills, conveyors, pumps, compressors, processing equipment and other critical machinery can determine whether you are producing at full capacity, operating at reduced capacity, or not producing at all.
When one of these critical machines suffers a sudden and unforeseen breakdown, the immediate concern is usually the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged equipment. But the repair bill may only be the beginning of the financial loss. The bigger financial impact may arise because the damaged machinery is no longer available to support production
