Ships and Chips have created massive interruptions in the procurement of, well, just about everything. As we navigate the waters of stalled (or sunken) cargo ships, chip shortages, and ongoing delays in technology hardware delivery, here are three of our top (Little Blue Book-inspired) reactions to keep us rolling.
It’s been said that a problem well stated is half solved. When it comes to lingering supply chain issues that have plagued our (and most every other) industry, we know what the problem is.
Sourced back to the onset of the pandemic, computer chip shortages and ships stuck at sea have created untimely delays and uncertain arrivals for new equipment, for parts, and for toner, putting unique strains on every department at Datamax. If we know the problem, the question becomes: What’s our response? What’s our supply chain reaction?
