Can a process be performed in two shops at the same time in the production of medical devices?

From the point of view of "production management", it is certainly possible to carry out a certain process in two workshops at the same time. However, this would require two sets of production equipment, which would increase the cost. Unless a workshop's output or production capacity can not meet the needs of the production program, then it is necessary to purchase an additional set of production equipment, and the corresponding production staff, the two workshops side by side.
