Working Around and Through the Everything Shortage - Global Supply Chain Week
from FreightWaves LIVE: An Events Podcast · host FreightWaves
Kenny Vieth may not have coined the term "the everything shortage" but the president and senior analysts at ACT Research has popularized it as his research firm tracks the topsy-turvy world of automotive supply chains led by semiconductor shortages. The inability of truck manufacturers to see what shortages are next or work around employee absences from COVID has led to canceled orders, massive backlogs and the near doubling of used truck prices in auctions. What does the road ahead look like? He is joined by FreightWaves Detroit Bureau Chief Alan Adler.
