Why Manufacturers Need to Beware of Retailers' Woes

Michael Guckes | Gardner Intelligence

Gardner Intelligence’s supplier delivery data from the Gardner Business Index (GBI) has done a commendable job of monitoring the slipping of order-to-fulfillment times for upstream supplies used in manufacturing. As delivery times have lengthened, readings have correspondingly increased and have done so well beyond anything seen in recorded history. 2021 year-to-date survey data indicate that nearly all surveyed manufacturers in June reported slowing delivery times. In fact, the last 11 months of data have reported almost an unstoppable trend of month-over-month lengthening delivery times. One would think — or at least hope— that the worst must be behind us, right?  The GBI: Supplier Delivery reading has reported higher month after month readings almost consistently since July 2020.

Euro drivers like wagons—and apparently extreme driving in them. Stellantis is spending big on going electric. And even more.
