Employer 21 | Pretty much all areas, really depends on the plants capability to adjust to new safety measures and the ability if any to have employees work from home.

Employer 27 | All aspects to the supply chain are impacted. Not to mention the overall logistics/trucking is still stressed with the lack of manpower to move materials since 2019. I would say the tier two suppliers were impacted the most with the inability to get the raw materials for production. The biggest thing in these times is to focus on what you can control and that is cost and internal controls. Driving to gain advantage in our process efficiency and eliminate nonvalue added activities helps improve the overall impacts of the COVID impacts. |
