How Electronics Manufacturers Can Turn It Around in 2020

As Q2 2020 Closes, many larger OEM and CEM facilities have begun to reopen. The plethora of challenges facing Supply Chain Professionals in these times are prolific. Many orders, and corresponding builds, have been delayed or canceled altogether. New orders for different products are also on the rise as the new normal dictates.

I’ve spoken with many Purchasing professionals, materials managers, and planners at our OEM and EMS partners and there is one thing they all agree on:

“2020, not even half-way finished, is already the most challenging year that my company have faced. EVER!”

Many companies are coming back to a hangover heavy with suddenly unneeded electronic components that had been bought for reduced or canceled builds. With the lag between starting back up and delivery of finished goods, the staggered return of the workforce, and increased cost due to social distancing and PPE compliance, there are lots of new expenses for companies as well. Once the PPP funds and cash reserves are tapped, there is another potential resource.
