If I owned a TP factory I wouldn't increase production. Consumption has not increased, this is a distribution issue. If I increase production now, I'll spend a bunch of money on overtime and then have to shut my whole factory down next month as the glut from all the hoarding makes its way through the system and everyone stops buying TP.
- cannaceo 7y agoAs a manufacturer myself my strategy right now is go full tilt increasing batch sizes because I may have a labor shortage in the near future and I know demand is high. If customers aren’t buying my products they’re buying competitor products. It’s also a great way to get storefronts to order more from us than they would typically because our competitors are low on inventory. Worst case scenario I made too many products and I cut back on shifts next month and run a few less productions.
