downtime
The time during which a machine, department, or
entire bindery is inactive during normal working
hours, because of repairs, setting-up, lack of
material, etc. Downtime becomes extremely costly
in certain plants, such as paper mills, edition
binderies, or binderies specializing in adhesive
binding, because of the very high cost of the
equipment used, as well as the cost of idle labor.
