Are any of you experiencing shortages, and if so, for what? I can tell you that pet food is short in Phoenix and beef and chicken are going up, up, up. I'm trying to see the silver lining in this - perhaps more people will adopt vegetarianism (is that a word?) I can tell you.also that our shipments of produce have been late the past three weeks - I'm told it's supply chain disruptions plus lack of workers on the US side.
I can also affirm that these issues go beyond US borders. Last week I had four days off - two of them were for Tucson and the Celebration of Life for my deceased friend. One was for Nogales, both sides. I dined one night in the restaurant of the Hotel Fray Marcos on the Mexican side and two chicken dishes I was interested in were not available due to the ingredients not being available.
I'm thinking we might wish to reconsider just in time inventory/production methods? Just in time does not seem to work well with supply chain disruptions. Rob
