over-run, on the side

Hi,
i haven't understood what over-run and on the side means in this sentence:

Manufacturers could over-run production line and then could sell goods on the side.

can you help me?

'Manufacturers could over-run production line' isn't exactly clear - what was the original context? 'Over-run the production line' makes sense. It basically just means producing extra products - more than the normal or expected production line output.
