Sustainable Supply Chain The Chip Shortage Impact On Automotive - A Chat With Cox Automotive Randy Kobat
In the last two episodes of this podcast, we spoke more broadly about the causes of the current chip shortages. In today's episode, we are diving more deeply into it, focussing on one of the industries most deeply affected - the Automotive Industry.
I invited Randy Kobat (@RandyKobat on Twitter) to come on the podcast to discuss this. Randy is a Senior Vice President at Cox Automotive, so he's supremely qualified to talk on this topic.
We had a great conversation discussing the impact of the chip shortages on automotive prices, steps the manufacturers are taking, and the future shape of the automotive industry.
