Supply Chain Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines March 2022 member responses to assess how material and component shortages, transport delays, and sourcing challenges are affecting OEM operations. The analysis indicates primary focus areas: materials and components (metals, plastics, automation parts) and transportation and logistics (air, ocean, land), plus mitigation strategies and commercial impacts such as inventory, supplier diversification, and pricing approaches. Emerging patterns show companies tend to extend lead times, increase safety stock, and redesign for substitute parts; charts highlight extended procurement timelines and mitigation mixes across revenue segments. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
