In certain items yes, but most items no...
Of course part of the problem is that just in time supply chain model, which reduces storage, inventory and saves money in theory if you can time everything up correctly.
Which of course everyone's been going to for the last decade... But covin shows it's huge weak spot, if you and your suppliers have no storage or inventory, then you're absolutely screwed if you can't time everything just right...
So it's not just covid it's not just local supply chain it's the money saving model but everyone has been going to for the last decade, which is absolutely the worst case scenario model for something like covid.
With that in mind covid actually hasn't been that bad considering it's the worst case scenario...
That being said they should probably be hedging their beds and splitting models, doing some of both models and finding out what's best for the during covid and post covid worlds.
