It Hurts, But How Much? Quantifying the Impact of Cost Changes

What We Are Seeing

In today's economic environment, unexpected material cost changes are unavoidable. They seem to come out of nowhere and leave you scrambling to react. This kind of situation can impact not just pricing decisions, but delivery decisions across multiple customers. With limited vision comes restricted options for how to respond. It can feel like you're being pushed out on a tightrope blindfolded.
