Most plant managers know conveyor downtime is expensive. Very few have calculated exactly how expensive.
Here is a simple framework — fill in your numbers and you will have the answer in 60 seconds.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 1 — YOUR PRODUCTION VALUE PER HOUR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Formula:
Monthly revenue from this production line ÷ Operating hours per month = Revenue per hour
Example:
Monthly line revenue: ₹60 lakhs
Operating hours: 500 (2 shifts × 25 days × 10 hrs)
Revenue per hour = ₹60, 00, 000 ÷ 500 = ₹12, 000 per hour
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 2 — YOUR CONVEYOR DOWNTIME FREQUENCY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Track over the last 6 months:
• How many unplanned conveyor stoppages?
• Average downtime per event (hours)?
Example:
6 stoppages × 3.5 hours average = 21 hours unplanned downtime in 6 months
Annualised: 42 hours per year
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 3 — CALCULATE YOUR ANNUAL DOWNTIME COST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Revenue per hour × Annual downtime hours = Annual production loss
Example:
₹12, 000 × 42 hours = ₹5, 04, 000 per year in lost production
Add:
+ Emergency repair cost: ₹40, 000 per event × 6 = ₹2, 40, 000
+ Express spare parts premium (2x normal): ₹30, 000
+ Worker idle time cost: ₹15, 000 × 6 events = ₹90, 000
Total annual conveyor downtime cost: ₹8, 64, 000
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 4 — COMPARE AGAINST AMC COST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Neo Conveyors Standard AMC for one production line: ₹35, 000–₹55, 000/year
In the example above:
Annual downtime cost: ₹8, 64, 000
AMC cost: ₹45, 000/year
Net saving if AMC prevents 70% of breakdowns: ₹5, 60, 000/year
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IS YOUR NUMBER?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Run this calculation for your plant. If your downtime cost exceeds ₹1, 00, 000 per year — an AMC is cost-positive from Day 1.
