Think about it. Imagine the consequences of a machinery breakdown. - Immediately, you will need to stop production. - How will you deliver your order? - If you don’t have additional production lines, you may need to find alternate production facilities or rent another machine, which will increase your costs. - What if your customer can’t wait? Your order may be cancelled. - Which means you will suffer loss of revenue, and - Possible damage to your reputation. - Personal injury could also result from the machinery breakdown.
