Shortages, Lead Time Events, and Obsolescence
Market shortages, long lead time events, and component obsolescence are all real challenges businesses face. In our current market manufacturing companies have invested in producing products that remain incomplete while awaiting much-needed components.
Manufacturers must ensure that a reliable component source is in place, even after components become obsolete. This requires businesses to be resourceful in finding alternate component options during shortages and long lead time events, while strategically planning for obsolescence. Failure to do so could lead to serious challenges.
