Summary
Between 2020 and 2022, your business likely received phone calls from vendors to notify you that key equipment or material deliveries were delayed – and that instead of being readily available in inventory, it would be months before they arrived. Perhaps you even had a vendor that told you they were unable to confirm a fixed price until the unit was loaded onto a truck for delivery. Like the flip of a light switch, material availability and pricing became our industry’s largest impediment to getting work done.
In this paper, FMI and the New Horizons Foundation will share with you what best-in-class SMACNA member contractors have learned– and give you the tools to be more effective in managing supply chain disruption.
