Ask most factory owners how much downtime cost them last month. Most cannot answer. Not because they do not care — but because nobody was tracking it.
This is the most important number in your factory that you are probably not measuring.
Your downtime number — total hours lost multiplied by your cost per hour of production — tells you more about the health of your operation than almost any other metric. It shows you where money is leaking. It tells you which machines need attention. It tells you whether your maintenance strategy is working.
Without this number, every decision about maintenance, vendors, and machine investment is based on instinct. With it, every decision has a foundation.
The factories that take downtime tracking seriously consistently outperform those that do not — not because they have better machines or more workers, but because they know exactly where their problems are and fix them systematically.
Getting this number does not have to be complicated. It starts with logging every breakdown — when it happened, how long it lasted, which machine, and what the likely cost was. Even a basic version of this data is transformational.
Rasset automates all of this. Your downtime number is calculated in real time, updated with every breakdown, and available whenever you need it.
Know your number. Fix your factory.
