Mаgnificent Metаl Wоrking Inc. is а manufacturing cоmpany that prоduces custom metal parts. A critical step of the production process is using a specialized laser cutting machine that can perform very precise cuts on large pieces of metal. When the company first started, it could only afford one laser cutting machine (as they are very expensive). This presented a very serious risk, because an unexpected breakdown of the laser cutting machine would have caused a complete interruption to the firm's daily operations. As Magnificent Metal Working has grown, instead of relying on a single laser cutting machine for all production; the company now has three laser cutting machines that are all used during a normal day of operation. This ensures that if one laser cutting machine would unexpectedly break down, the other two can continue production without significant delays. Which risk treatment option is Magnificent Metal Working using in the above scenario?
