The goal is to make this cost calculator practical. Not just a basic “hours down x hourly rate”, but a tool that actually helps teams understand the real cost of a machine being out of service.

Before we finalize the features, we are seeking input from operators, fleet managers, and equipment repair mechanics who deal with downtime every day. What would make this tool most useful to you?

Some features we’re looking at include:

• Machine type and hourly operating value
• Idle labor and crew costs
• Lost production estimates
• Rental replacement costs
• Parts and repair costs
• Transport or mobilization costs
• Downtime by repair type
• Repair vs. replacement comparisons
• Fleet-wide downtime reporting
• Exportable reports for managers or customers

What else should be included? What would you want this calculator to show to be actually useful to you?
