Supply shortage? Not here!

Toilet paper, diapers, computer chips, lumber, gas, even workers…. the list goes on! You’ve likely already
noticed the supply shortages we are experiencing. For those that have never lived through a world crisis
before, it has been amazing to see the rippling effect the pandemic has had across the globe. It seems
everyone and nearly every aspect has been affected – it really is a small world after all!

Although it played a major role, the pandemic is not the only one to blame – in a sense we created our
own storm. In the race to maximize efficiency, most companies have embraced methods of lean
operating in which supplies are not received until as close as possible to when they are needed. This of
course reduces overheads without extra inventory on hand and allows companies to stay nimble and adapt to
changing market demands. When things tick along perfectly calculated, this system works great, but as we
are seeing now it also comes at a huge risk when the supply chain gets interrupted.

These products in shortage will come back but ramping up production again can take months, especially as
workers themselves are in short supply. Jim Farley, chief executive of Ford Motor Company, which has long
embraced lean manufacturing, spoke to stock analysts saying, “The impact to production will get worse
before it gets better.” Common sense tells us “whoever has the goods makes the sale,” so the race to produce
is on but it is being met with the same challenge of supply shortages and major shipping delays globally.
