Our advanced manufacturing environment demands a sophisticated supply chain that can quickly and flexibly meet the needs of the industry. However, the electronic industry supply chain has been disrupted since the beginning of the pandemic, and it will be a while before things regain a measure of stability. The good news is that the supply chain is healing, evolving, and adapting to new conditions, which will result in a more stable and reliable component marketplace.
