In current industrial scenario, every organization wants to escalate their production rate to cope with existing market demand. One of the major hurdle with most of the industries to increase production rate is their down time. The term downtime refers means when system is unavailable and downtime or outage duration refers to a period of time that a system fails to provide or perform its primary function. The unavailability is the proportion of a time-span that a system is unavailable or offline. This is usually a result of the system failing to function because of an unplanned event, or because of routine maintenance. Present study mainly focused on downtime estimation way with consideration of a case of lock manufacturing MSME unit. Research results revealed that down time is the major concern for the lower productive capacity of the industries.
