New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 07/30/2021 --Longer lead times have been a consistent issue over the past year or so. While these longer lead times and supplier deliveries operating on a much slower scale are not unique to individual industries, electronic supplies have been particularly badly affected. In July 2021, the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Business Survey Committee highlighted how lead times are now at record highs across multiple industries and that this is likely to be a continuous problem going forward. In May this year, lead times for production materials came in at around 85 days. By June this had risen to 88, which is the highest number that has been recorded since monitoring first began. The increase is very stark in an area such as electronics - one respondent to the recent survey identified that lead times for components had shot up from 16 weeks to more than 62 weeks. This is a significant shift and one that even an investment in procurement recruitment may not produce an easy solution to.

Nevertheless, procurement recruitment remains at the heart of efforts to get industry back up and running again after the impact of the pandemic over the past 12 months.
