How would management react to this?

  Day 1 The master CPU of your PA5700 system, which controls the entire Brew house, crashes one afternoon and the plant stops.
The maintenance group finds the spare part in stock but discovers that it doesn’t work
The plant engineer calls the Local Siemens representative asking for help.
  Day 2 The local Siemens representative hasn't the spare part in their stock because it is in discontinuation status; therefore it needs to be sent back to Germany for replacement.
The plant stays stopped and the three remaining batches in the Vessels have to be thrown away to avoid contamination and equipment damage.
  Day 3 Siemens Germany receives the CPU during the afternoon.
  Day 4-6 Siemens Germany repairs the damaged CPU.
The plant is still stopped.
  Day 7 Siemens Germany sends the repaired CPU back.
  Day 8 The CPU finally arrives to the plant and the reinstallation and set-up process is initiated.
  Day 9 After repeated trouble shooting the plant is finally producing again.

     Calculate the total cost of events such as a nine day production stoppage, loosing your yeast cultures, 
     canceling forecasted orders, and trashing your market share. Recognize that your production plant would
     loose thousands of dollars if your process control system fails. Invest a small amount of $$$, avoid
     inconveniences, keep your system updated and maintain constant productivity.
