Cost of breakdowns

Work out the cost of an equipment's breakdowns — free

The number of breakdowns and the repair time give the machine's MTBF, MTTR and availability; hourly output and margin tell you what an hour of downtime costs.

In Odoo: the equipment form computes the MTBF, the MTTR and the likely date of the next failure from corrective maintenance requests. This calculation tells you what an hour of preventive work is worth.
The method

What the calculation does.

MTBF

(2,000 − 28) h ÷ 4 breakdowns = 493 h of running between failures.

MTTR

28 h ÷ 4 = 7 h to get the machine running again.

Availability

493 ÷ (493 + 7) = 98.6%.

One hour of downtime

400 bags × 1,000 F + 650,000 F ÷ 28 h ≈ 423,000 F.
