You are looking at this from the standpoint of a small business, ?how much do you think the contractual penalties are for a company like boeing if they have a committed to deliver a plane by date xy and slip schedule because a critical instrument is down? Or
if a company like Nokia agreed to deliver 10000 DTRX units to verizon ?? Any slip in schedule if you produce stuff like this not only has the potential for contractual penalties but in addition you still have to pay employees and utilities to keep equipment
on a line running that is idle !?
Obviously losses due to downtime are going to be higher with larger companies, To me, the number is meaningless. What meaning can you attach to what Keysight wrote?
I expect lives have been lost in hospitals due to equipment downtime.
To me it is meaningless crap.
