Testing machine downtime often means that testing needs to be outsourced to a third party laboratory while new parts are ordered and installed. While this can be a reasonable short term solution, extended downtime due to problems with older, unsupported equipment can cause the cost of outsourcing your testing to skyrocket. Understanding these potential costs, and when they will exceed the cost of investing in a newer testing system, can help you plan for the future and reduce disruption to your lab.
