Re: Test Downtime Costing You Money?
|
As I said before its marketing material nothing more nothing less ¡..
Most companies bitch about the cost of downtime but at the same time managers frown on buying or holding backup equipment just in case because they get pushed by upper level management to ditch unutilized equipment so a lot of the blame
falls on them

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

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.
