There are 4 main factors that affect PES:
If there is spare capacity then it is easy for the firm to decrease the spare capacity in order to increase output.
If there is excess levels of stock then it is easy for firms to temporarily increase the supply of a good.
If the factors of production are occupationally mobile then they can be used to increase the supply of a good.
If it takes a long time to produce a good then it is likely that the firm will not be able to increase the supply of the good with ease.
