Show Notes

The types of things that makes complex supply chains is when:

• weak relationships with suppliers
• manufacturers don’t have a lot of choice with suppliers
• components that manufacturers use that aren’t intended for their market or their use environment

Ways you can address issues:

• take the time to develop strong relationships with suppliers
• choose simpler and adaptable components
• facilitate the technical experts among many suppliers to come to an agreement
• speak to the “doers”!

If you have a particular supplier story or article, please share it!
