Mothballing

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
Mothballing
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.

Notes:
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.
