    The significance of reducing downtime and keeping it as low as possible is almost impossible to overstate.

    FREMONT, CA: Downtime costs the leading companies in the world billions in revenue every year. The industries, especially the manufacturing sector, can't afford to turn a blind eye towards these soaring expenses. The significance of reducing downtime and keeping it as low as possible is almost impossible to overstate. Many factors such as material issues, shortage of operators, or unscheduled maintenance can trigger downtime. One can avoid this increased outage duration that devours the business by adopting effective preventive maintenance strategies. 

    Here are some most pragmatic downtime prevention strategies that can be relied upon to ensure business continuity and enhanced productivity. 

    Conduct a risk audit

    Outdated machinery may pose significant outage threats to operations. Similarly, any equipment that frequently gets damaged will adversely affect the productivity of the respective industry. Hence, risk auditing is an inevitable step one should take to protect the business from the revenue loss occurring from downtime. A timely check on downtime will help the industries to leverage their performance by reducing the machinery malfunctions. 

    The thorough knowledge of the operation Managers on the latest technology will also be a plus in this regard. 

    Best-of-breed monitoring service

    If the monitoring systems and processes that are used by the service are strong enough, then the software notifies whenever risks come forth, that could harm the reliability or speed of the system. There are several tools available in the market to monitor and manage the technology around-the-clock. Such devices that proactively identify and alarm the onset of issues and resolve them will be an added asset to the organizations.

    Train and empower the employees regarding downtime

    The most exciting fact is the staffs that have the most potential to prolong the downtime events are often in the best positions to prevent it in the future. 

    Empower the operators to be able to diagnose and problem-solve their machines and remind them how crucial their contributions are in preventing downtime. The trend of combining the operator and maintenance technician roles will also work wonders. Here the employee's knowledge over the machine will help him to fix any issues on that specific machine without any external help. 

    Clear communication between the supervisors and the employees will protect the businesses from outage threats. Such open conversations will also create an image among them that they are playing a pivotal role in leveraging productivity by mitigating the outage risks. This way, employees can also add their suggestions about how to limit downtime, increase morale, better service machines, and produce more goods.
