Establishing maintenance-focused culture in stone fabrication shops
Making an investment in a skilled employee to monitor machine maintenance in the shop will ultimately result in financial savings and increased efficiency
Water. Abrasive. Sludge. Stone fragments. All standard findings in a countertop fabrication shop. What impact can these harsh elements have on your business? Machine downtime.
Machine downtime can be very “painful” and very costly – especially if it was unplanned. It is estimated that the average cost for unplanned downtime is approximately $1,500 per hour. Shop inefficiencies, employee overtime, missed shipment dates and schedule shuffling all contribute to this cost of unplanned downtime.
