Manufacturing Outlook eZine Explores How the Coronavirus Will Impact Supply Chain

The February issue of Manufacturing Outlook eZine explores the impact of the Coronavirus on the supply chain. Industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler’s recent article can be read here

Cutler reported that the impact of the Coronavirus is greater as it coincides with an already slowing Chinese economy. It comes at a time when American companies were already shifting supply chains from China to elsewhere due to new tariffs and trade tensions. The virus will serve as another reminder for companies to rapidly diversify supply chains. 

Businesses should expect supply chain disruptions for approximately three to six months (perhaps longer depending on containment), similar to the 2009 swine flu disruption. More will be known once recovery rates of patients affected by the virus are provided by health organizations. 

Industries most affected by the disruptions include aerospace, automotive, general manufacturing, consumer goods, consumer electronics, food and beverage, life sciences, and industrial chemicals.
