1- How long do you think it takes a typical manufacturing company to increase capacity?

2- then replay to this ? did you agree or not

Longer-term solutions

Manufacturers can increase capacity long term as well, however in many cases these solutions take much longer. One really popular option is to acquire new equipment or technology. If the equipment already exists then this is just a simple purchase, but if companies are looking to invest in technology and create better systems, processes, and equipment then this is a much longer solution. This solution could take several months to several years to increase capacity depending on when a company invests (if they invest in the R+D phase then it will take much longer). However, the trade off with long solutions like this is that they should positively influence and increase capacity for a much longer time than short term solutions. Additionally, these long-term solutions don't require paying employee overtime or running current equipment for long periods of time that decreases the availability and lifespan of that equipment.
