Consider this example.
Jay owns and operates a small wine company. He was anxious to start production. Therefore, it spent very little time looking at the details of its plant and equipment insurance policy and opted for a cookie-cutter policy that did not focus on the components of the manufacturing process.
After a few years, Jay has the problem of breaking down the necessary equipment, making production impossible. When he contacts his insurance company, Jay realizes that there is no one to blame for the breakdown.
Because Jay has chosen fast and cheap insurance, he should come up with funds to fix his machinery. Spending a little time with a plant and equipment specialist could save JK thousands of dollars.
