On-Time Deliveries Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines shipping and parts-delivery impacts reported by member OEMs and suppliers in a March 2021 member survey and benchmarking across revenue bands. The analysis identifies three focus areas—supply-chain and logistics (port congestion and freight capacity), supplier reliability and component availability (including semiconductor and outsourced parts), and inventory and operational strategies (such as increased safety stock and alternative sourcing)—and indicates delays tend to stem from upstream supplier constraints and logistics bottlenecks. Charts highlight comparative patterns by revenue and membership type. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
