Domain productive activity
  • tootmise konserveerimine - mittekasutatavate tootmisvahendite, sealhulgas põldude sellisel viisil säilitamine, et nende tootmisvõime oluliselt ei väheneks ja neid oleks võimalik vajaduse korral või konjunktuuri muutudes taas kasutusele võtta.
  • the preservation of a production facility without using it to produce. Machinery in a mothballed facility is kept in working order so that production may be restored quickly if needed. A desirable production strategy for a company that has high operating costs, mothballing allows a factory produce goods upon demand instead of on a continual basis.
