That kind of assumes the only way to increase production is to add more machines but there is an alternative, higher utilization of existing lines. In normal times it might not be economically feasible to run 24/7 and weekends because of over time laws. During a crises if you can increase production by 180% but you have to increase prices by 100% to cover extra costs of operating nights weekends and over time is that not a good thing?
