Description: The global pandemic is the worst supply chain disaster in history. Global supply chains have experienced disruptions in every industry and these issues are still causing delays in shipping and skyrocketing costs today. The global electronics industry has been acutely affected by huge swings in demand for consumer electronics such as laptop computers for online school classes and people working from home. Shortages in semiconductors due to geopolitics, swings in demand, and poor inventory policies are all contributing factors. Listen to global supply chain expert, Rosemary Coates talk about what to expect next and when global supply chains will return to normal.
