1) equipment running: money being made (assuming the product is profitable, of course)
2) equipment stopped: money being lost
this is why many Cos with large capital expenditures in equipment run 24/7, to get payback for the expense of their machines as quick as possible.....every hour a machine sits idle is one hour of production lost forever.....
short version: time is money, or maybe also "use it or lose it".....
