Analyzing the Supply Chain Problems

What this episode covers

COVID might have slowed down, but its impact on the engineering field is still being felt through continued supply chain challenges. Organizations, big and small, have been forced to redesign, delay, and sometimes cancel profitable projects simply because they couldn’t find the necessary materials. Many companies are now overhauling their entire sourcing systems to create more resilient systems. I’m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens.
