Most plant leaders measure efficiency in minutes and units, but very few measure it in dollars and downtime.

The average cost of an unplanned downtime for a mid-sized manufacturer in Iowa is around $22,000 per hour.

The biggest risk isn't what's happening on the plant floor...it's what's happening in the server room.
