Analytical trouble shooting

Friction and wear cost us in the UK something like £500m per annum, maintenance of plant and buildings £3000m, corrosion oyer £300m, mishandling of material a further 825m. The cost of production delays due to breakdowns has not even been assessed. With figures of this magnitude even a one per cent saving would be significant. But experience of a training programme designed to meet the needs of shop floor trouble shooters has shown savings of a much greater magnitude.
