"Sometimes good stuff comes out of that, but there's a ton of waste, too"
If you have complex machines that are critical to the business and that take 6+ months before they are running at a reasonable capacity then it often makes perfect sense to have extra "dormant" capacity.
Probably not to the point where 90% of your capacity is "dormant" but IMO that is rare. A much bigger issue is all the companies running at over-capacity who are harming their long term success.
