Cost of downtime/repair Example ROI calculation
(Medium size manufacturing facility)
Calculate your ROI savings
Lost production cost
1
Average cost of unscheduled downtime due to
mechanical failures
$10,000/hr
$
2 Average downtime for each equipment failure 8 hrs
hrs
3 Average number of events (failures) per year 5 failures
failures
LPC Average annual lost production cost ($10,000 x 8) x 5 = $400,000
$
Labor and spare inventory cost
4 Average (regular + overtime) labor cost $30/hr
$ /hr
5 Average time to repair one piece of equipment 8 hrs
hrs
6
Average number of technicians assigned for each
equipment failure
2 technicians
technicians
7 Average equipment and parts cost/failure $5,000
$
TMC
Average annual time and material cost to recover
from downtime
($30/hr x 8 hrs x 5 failures x 2 techs) +
($5000 x 5 failures) = $27,400 $
TDC Total downtime cost = LPC + TMC $400,000 + $27,400 = $427,400

Outsourcing cost
OC
Vibration analysis - annual consultant fee
(based on $8000-$15,000 range)
$10,000
$
TOC Total outsourcing costs $10,000

Cost of ownership
8 The Fluke 810 Vibration Tester $8,000 $8,000
9 Number of drive trains to be tested/month 100 drive trains
drive trains
10
Average cost of dedicated, experienced technician
for testing (Assume 0.5 hr/motor/month)
0.5 hr/month/motor x 100 drive trains x
12 mos/yr x $30/hr = $18,000 $
11 Training cost $0 $0
COO Initial investment (First year cost of ownership) ($8,000 + $18,000) = $26,000

Payback
Annual savings from owning a 810 Vibration Tester
(In the example ROI, it is assumed that 50% of the
annual unplanned downtime cost and 100% of annual
outsourcing costs are eliminated with the 810.)
$427,400 x 0.5 + $10,000 = $223,700
$
Months to payback.
(First year cost of ownership/annual savings x 12)
$26,000/$223,700 x 12 ≈ 1.4 months
$
Current machine health alternatives do not offer sustainable ROI. They require
significant upfront investment and high ongoing training and support costs.
The Fluke 810 Vibration Tester offers a more practical approach. There is
minimal upfront investment with a positive pay off only months from setup.
No additional training costs. No additional software fees.
