Our bi-annual Electronics Outsourcing supplement (p23 digital issue) opens with a discussion on how the challenges of the last few years – from Brexit & COVID to the Russia-Ukraine war – are fuelling supply chain woes and fuel, energy & cost of living crises (p24 digital issue or web version). We also explain how becoming truly sustainable means going beyond certification to examine every part of your business, including your customers & supply chain (p26 digital issue or web version); and we explain what allocation is, before discussing some of its driving factors and impact, as well as how best to manage it (p28 digital issue or web version).
As always, I hope you enjoy the issue – and I’d love to hear what you think or any ideas for topics you’d like EPDT to cover. You can email me at mark.gradwell@imlgroup.co.uk...
