Due to work from home productivity of workers has suffered, time loss has increased an average of 10% - 15% depending on the department.

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.
