English term or phrase: 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.
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.

Explanation:
?
zapewne coś w tym rodzaju - moth ball to naftalina. Odzież przekłada się naftaliną, coby jej mole nie żarły. Maszyn na pewno naftaliną nikt nie przekłada. Chodzi więc o jakieś inne zabezpieczenie przed korozją, zakurzeniem itd.
