A critical machine stops unexpectedly for 10 minutes. From a traditional maintenance perspective, the event is simple: one machine, one failure, 10 minutes of downtime. From a production management perspective, the situation can be very different. The next operation may remain without material, operators may need to reorganize their work, the machine may require additional time to stabilize after restart, and the production order may finish later than planned. Ten minutes of machine downtime can therefore become 18 minutes of production disruption, 85 fewer parts and, in an illustrative example, 420 EUR of lost production value.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2 style=\"margin: 16.0pt 0cm 8.0pt 0cm;\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Libre Baskerville'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Libre Baskerville'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Libre Baskerville'; color: windowtext;\">Why doesn't machine downtime tell the whole story?\u003C/span>\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\">\u003Cstrong>Downtime measures how long the machine was stopped.
