Lectra services contracts: why it pays to be covered

Read our article to find out how much you can gain with a robust Lectra services contract

What is the true cost of downtime?

According to an Aberdeen Strategy Research study, unplanned downtime can cost, on average, $260,000 per hour. According to a more recent survey, the cost of unplanned downtime has increased by 50% over the last two years due to soaring inflation and production lines running at higher capacity.

Unplanned downtime is not only financially costly but can also result in material waste, need for overtime labor, rescheduling projects or late delivery, loss in production and resources.

Paying for a robust maintenance and services contract that enables you to avoid downtime and inefficient manufacturing is therefore a cost that you cannot afford not to pay.
