What We Are Seeing
Companies around the globe are seeing their supply chains strained, and the economic impacts have manifested as material shortages, increased wait times, production delays, and higher prices. In the short term, this is exposing weaknesses in the economy, but in the long run, this will highlight the opportunities that some businesses were able to capitalize on by being nimble and responsive to a shifting environment.
The Saphran View
Just-in-time production may need to adapt to a just-in-case style of material purchasing. But a one-size fits all approach to managing these issues can bury efficiencies that would otherwise help a business stand out as a leader in mitigating the rough waters, able to deliver value to customers and revenue to the company instead of losing market share and enduring drastic, misguided internal cuts.
