If availability reaches the target

Target availability is at or below current availability, so there is nothing to recover.
Margin lost at each availability level

How this is calculated
- Cost of one hour stopped = throughput × margin per tonne.
- Hours lost = scheduled hours × (1 − availability) × share of stoppage that halts the plant.
- Total annual cost = hours lost × cost of one hour + unplanned stops × repair cost per stop.
- Value of reaching the target = extra available hours × cost of one hour. Repair costs are not included in this figure.
Use contribution margin (price less variable cost) for the margin per tonne. Fixed costs carry on whether the plant runs or not, so they do not add to the cost of a stop. This is a planning estimate, not a forecast.
