Deactivate all lines but keep plant

Top  Previous  Next

Q:  We may wish to deactivate all of the lines operating in our home area (as we move production operations into Sereno).  However, we aren't positive that we wish to close the home plant.  If we deactivate all lines, is there any way we can keep the plant (but not produce anything from it)?  To save on production costs, we may just move all production operations into Sereno (and add second-shifts as demand requires).

 

A:  Deactivating a line just provides for laying off the workers and securing the production line equipment for extended storage.  It still sits in the plant.  To close and sell the plant you also have to sell the equipment and the plant.

 

Second-shift operations are not available in Sereno.
