Correct. Individual slack (available capacity, aka not running 100% efficient) enables and allows for organizational efficiency, higher output, and agility (the ability to respond to things).
Just like running 100% lean (just in time efficiency) reduces overall resilience when snags occur. Having SOME slack (available capacity) allows for agility when things go awry.
