Supply Chain Transformed: Components at the Source

Digi-Key has created a video series on the global supply chain:

1. Components at the Source (this video)
2. The Product Journey
3. Next Generation Production

While this video does highlight Digi-Key and some of its partners, it also provides useful insight into the global supply chain and manufacturing issues and answers you may find useful. It is always useful to know what's going on behind the scenes for those products and services that developers are using on a regular basis. 

There some interesting sections within the video including a compact module with a thin-film battery and a robot soldering station.
