Episode 72: Supply chain disruptions - Continued shortages in materials and labor - a podcast by Hear what our experts are saying

In today's episode, our pricing and purchasing experts, John Anton, John Mothersole, and Sophie Malin discuss the continued shortages being felt across material production and labor markets due to Covid-19 lockdowns and disease progression. John Mothersole talks about the growing frustrations being felt due to consistent disruptions across mining, lumber, and more critically semiconductors which will have a knock-on effect on additional industries.

When the conversation turns to disruptions to cargo and air shipping, Sophie offers her analysis on global labor shortages – specifically the differences in demand for labor in service industries vs manufacturing and construction. And of course, no discussion can be complete without discussing issues around illness, priority access to vaccines, and policy.
