Redesigning for Component Availability

One of the ways that companies have started to combat the unpredictable quality of our current supply chain and contest the volatile nature of component availability today, is to reconsider an essential aspect of production - redesign. In the past, considerations around design and redesign of products were thought of as separate from a company’s overall supply chain strategy, often occurring outside of conversations around addressing component shortages and geopolitical turmoil. In this episode, we host a discussion around how that dynamic has shifted and why companies should start to think about redesign proactively.

Guests:

James Ray, General Manager of Avnet Design Services

Michael Lucia, Global Director of Supply Chain Solutions for Benchmark’s Aerospace and Industrial Sectors

Peter Levinsteyn, Senior Manager of Design Engineering within Benchmark’s North American Engineering Services.
